§1040. Right of eminent domain; applicable to all sewer districts

The authority and procedures for the exercise of eminent domain by a sewer district must conform to sections 1152, 1152‑A, 1153 and 1154. In addition, a sewer district may not take by right of eminent domain any of the property or facilities of any other public utility used or acquired for future use by the owner of the public utility in the performance of a public duty, unless expressly authorized by a special Act of the Legislature.   [PL 2013, c. 555, §6 (NEW).]
This section is deemed to be incorporated into the private and special laws governing a sewer district, and any part of a sewer district charter not in conformity with this section is void, unless the sewer district's charter expressly references this section or former section 1252, subsection 2 and specifically provides that this subsection or former section 1252, subsection 2 does not apply.   [PL 2013, c. 555, §6 (NEW).]
