1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
twenty-seven hundred and fifty-seven of the Code of Virginia, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 2757. Board of supervisors permitted to eStablish and
maintain public sewers.—The board of supervisors of any county shall
have power to establish and maintain, or to cause to be established and
maintained, public sewers along the streets, alleys and public highways
In any incorporated town, village or suburbs of any city where the same
shall be necessary whether the title to said streets, alleys and public
highways be vested in the board of supervisors or not, to protect the
public health, and the owners of adjacent lands shall have the right
to connect their premises with such sewers on such terms as the board
of supervisors shall prescribe; provided, that upon the failure or refusal
of the board of supervisors to establish and maintain, or cause to be
established and maintained, public sewers as herein provided for, any
landowner shall have the right to establish and maintain a sewer from
his land along any street, alley or public highway to the nearest natural
water course; provided, such landowner shall first deposit with the board
of supervisors a bond with security in such penalty as the board shall
prescribe, not in excess of the cost of constructing such sewer, condi-
tioned to keep such sewer in a proper condition to carry off such sewer-
age as may be emptied therein, and provided, further, that the sewer
proposed to be established by such landowner shall be approved by the
State board of health and with the consent of the city or town council
by ordinance or resolution.

The action of the board of supervisors under this act shall be subject
to review by the circuit court of the county upon a petition setting forth
the proceedings before such board being filed by any person in interest
within thirty days from the date of the final action of the board in any
proceeding under this act.

2. All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
