be made in the approved plan or in the work or construction as
shown by the plan, except on further approval of the Commission.
Whenever any main, conduit, pole, pipe, or other structure is in-
stalled without the filing of plans with the Commission and the ap-
proval thereof by it, or when any change is made in the location of
the main, conduit, pipe, pole, or other structure as shown upon the
plans approved by the Commission, or any approved change therein,
the Commission, if and when such conduit, main, pipe or pole, or
other structure interferes with the construction of or operation of
its water or sewerage system, or other works, may remove the con-
duit, main, pipe, pole or other structures or change the location
thereof at the cost and expense of the party so putting them in, or
their heirs, assigns, or successors, and without any liability upon
the part of the Commission for damage that might be done to the
same by reason of the Commission's operation in constructing or
maintaining its systems or works. Any violation of the provisions of
this section is a misdemeanor punishable under Section 10A-21.

10A-11.

Whenever the plans and specifications for water supply, sewerage,
or drainage systems or extensions thereof shall have been completed
and the Commission has decided to proceed with construction, it
shall, when required by this subheading, by notice in one newspaper
(county-wide circulation) published in the county and such other
newspapers as it may deem proper, advertise for bids for the con-
struction of the system or systems, in part or as a whole, as in its
judgment may appear advisable. The contract shall be let to the
lowest responsible bidder, or the Commission may reject any or all
bids; and, if in its discretion the prices quoted are unreasonable or
unbalanced, it may readvertise the work or any part of it or may
do any part or all of the work by day labor; provided that at any
time the Commission, in its discretion, may expend by day labor for
construction an amount not exceeding one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) without advertising and receiving bids. All such con-
tracts shall be protected by such bonds, penalties, and conditions as
the Commission may require, all of which shall be enforced in any
court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this section shall preclude the
Commission from performing any work with its own employees
and/or equipment.

10A-12.

No sewerage, water, or drainage system or extension thereof serv-
ing two or more properties in the sanitary district may be con-
structed by any private owner without the prior approval of the
Commission. If upon application for the construction or extension
of any such system the Commission determines that the construc-
tion or extension is inexpedient or impracticable at that time, owing
to the remoteness from its general system or other considerations,
the applicant may build and operate the system or extension thereof
at its own expense; but it shall be constructed only under such plans
and specifications as have been submitted to and approved by the
Commission, and its maintenance and operation shall be under the
general control of the Commission. No such system or part thereof or
no water main, sewer, storm drain, water purification or sewage
treatment plant or no connection with any of them shall be con-
structed or installed except as in this section provided, and any viola-
