§1154

§1153. Condemnation proceedings

Each sanitary district formed under this chapter, in exercising from time to time the right of eminent domain conferred upon it by section 1152, shall file in the office of the county commissioners of the county in which the property to be taken is located and cause to be recorded in the registry of deeds in said county plans of the location of all lands, real estate, easements or interest therein, and sewers, drains or conduits and any sewer or drainage rights to be taken, with an appropriate description and the names of the owners thereof, if known. When for any reason any such district fails to acquire property which it is authorized to take and which is described in such location, or if the location so recorded is defective and uncertain, it may, at any time, correct and perfect such location and file a new description thereof; and in such case any such district is liable in damages only for property for which the owner had not previously been paid, to be assessed as of the time of the original taking, and any such district shall not be liable for any acts which would have been justified if the original taking had been lawful. No entry shall be made on any private lands, except to make surveys, until the expiration of 10 days from such filing, whereupon possession may be had of all said lands, real estate, easements or interests therein and other property and rights as aforesaid to be taken, but title thereto shall not vest in the district until payment therefor.   [PL 1965, c. 310 (NEW).]
