                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONDEMNATION OF EXISTING WATER OR SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS (§ 15.2-1906)

Condemnation of existing water or sewage disposal systems shall be governed by
the provisions of Chapter 19.1 (§ 15.2-1908 et seq.) of this title so far as
applicable. The provisions of § 25.1-102 shall not apply in the case of
condemnation of an existing water or sewage disposal system in its entirety. The
circuit court for the city or county wherein the property proposed to be
condemned, or any part thereof, is located, shall have jurisdiction of the
condemnation proceedings. It shall not be necessary to file with the petition
for the condemnation of an existing water or sewage system, in its entirety, a
minute inventory and description of the property sought to be condemned,
provided the property is described therein generally and with reasonable
particularity and in such manner as to disclose the intention of the petitioner
that such existing water or sewage system be condemned in its entirety. The
court having jurisdiction of the condemnation proceedings shall, as the occasion
arises and prior to the filing of the report of the body determining just
compensation for the property sought to be condemned in its entirety, take such
steps as may be necessary and proper to cause to be included in an inventory of
the property sought to be condemned full descriptions of any and all such
property whenever the exigencies of the case or the ends of justice will be
promoted thereby. Such inventory shall be made a part of the record in the
proceedings and referred to the body determining just compensation.
