§ 55003 Sewer Property Acquisition Rules

• •The government can take private land if they need it to build sewers or pipes.
• •They can only do this if it's really needed for the project.
• •The landowner gets paid fairly for the land.

The city needs to build a new sewer pipe under your backyard.

The city can legally take part of your land to build the pipe, but they have to pay you for it.
