When a new public collection network is built or when a public rainwater collection network is incorporated into a network designed to receive domestic wastewater, the municipality may automatically carry out the parts of the connections located under the public highway, up to and including the manhole closest to the boundary of the public domain.
In the case of buildings constructed after the public sewerage system was put into service, the municipality may, at the request of the owners, carry out the part of the connections mentioned in the previous paragraph.
These parts of the connections are incorporated into the public network and become the property of the municipality, which is responsible for their maintenance and compliance.
The municipality is authorised to be reimbursed by the owners concerned for all or part of the costs incurred by this work, less any subsidies obtained and plus 10% for overheads, in accordance with procedures to be set by decision of the municipal council.
The Lyon metropolitan authority is substituted for the municipalities located within its perimeter for the application of the provisions of this article.
