Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15-739.8, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 15-739.8. The governing body of any county so notified of the
proposed establishment of a sewerage system or of the extension of any
existing sewerage system under § 15-739.7 of this article is authorized to
disapprove the same, if it finds that such sewerage system is not capable
of serving the proposed number of connections by reason of inadequate
pipes, conduits, pumping stations, force mains, or sewage treatment plants
or is otherwise inadequate to render the proposed service. If at the expira-
tion of seventy days from the date on which the applicant appeared before
the governing body, such governing body has not disapproved the applica-
tion, the applicant may proceed with the construction and installation of
such sewerage system, provided he first gives notice to the chairman of the
governing body by registered mail of his intention to proceed.
