Abstract:
Growing communities throughout the state required more extensive water and sewage lines to support growing populations. The 1955 Act as part of the General Statutes approved any county to appropriate funds for such development. This act was further clarified in the 1957 Act which grants county officials the right \"to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, improve, operate, maintain, lease and dispose of water systems and sanitary sewer systems\" and to contract out such work.
