the [Commission's] District's system, the Commission shall disre-
gard the existence of said system or unfit part thereof and extend
[its] the District's system to serve the area tributary to the existing
system or unfit part thereof, and all the provisions of this sub-title
relating to systems constructed by the Commission shall apply to
said extension. Any municipality whose system is acquired by [the
Commission] a District, whether by purchase or condemnation, is
hereby authorized to use the amount paid to it for said system for
the purchase or redemption of any bonds or debt which may be out-
standing against the same. [, or the Commission may as a part of
the purchase price of said system, assume the payment of any such
outstanding bonds.] The [Commission] District shall not purchase
any existing water mains, sewers or systems, in whole or in part,
which are improperly constructed or are not of sufficient capacity or
were constructed without proper authority from the State Depart-
ment of Health since the passage of the law requiring the same.

666.    After the passage of this sub-title, whenever the county or
the property owners or residents of any locality in the area served by
a District shall desire a water [supply,] or sewerage [or drainage]
system or part thereof, to be constructed in that county or locality,
and the Commission shall decide that it is inexpedient or imprac-
ticable at that time, owing to the remoteness from its general system
or other causes, to build such system, such county or persons may
build and operate said system at its or their own expense, but it
shall be constructed under plans and specifications [prepared]
approved by the Commission [and under its supervision], and its
maintenance and operation shall be under the general control of the
Commission; and no such system or part thereof, or no water main,
sewer, water purification or sewage treatment plant, or no connec-
tion with any of them, shall be constructed or installed except as in
this section provided, and any violation of this provision shall be a
misdemeanor punishable under Section 669 of this sub-title. All con-
struction and operating records, including cost records, shall be filed
with the Commission, which shall be empowered at any time to take
over said system or part thereof, or said water main, sewer, [storm
water drain,] water or sewage treatment plant, or connect on with
any of them in the same manner as provided under Section 665 for
systems existing at the time of the passage of this sub-title. The
Commission shall be empowered to extend its water [supply,] or
sewerage [or drainage] systems into any area outside of any sani-
tary district contiguous thereto and not included in the territory
under the jurisdiction of any other District or in the vicinity thereof,
when the property owners of said area shall agree to the charges,
assessments and conditions that may be imposed by the Commission
as hereinbefore outlined. In Charles County, when an offer by the
sanitary commission to purchase in the manner provided under
Section 665 of this sub-title, a water [supply,] or sewerage [or
drainage] system constructed under the provisions of this section,
is rejected or not accepted within ninety (90) days by the developer
or builder, the sanitary commission shall have the right to proceed
in condemnation under the provision of Article 33A.

667.    Any employee or agent of the Commission shall have the
right of entry, at all reasonable hours, upon any private premises
and into any building, in such sanitary district, while in pursuit of
his official duties, upon first presenting proper credentials from the
