§ 124. Condemnation of real property. Any such corporation shall have
the right to acquire real estate, or any interest therein, necessary for
the purposes of its incorporation, and the right to lay, repair and
maintain conduits and sewer pipes with connections and fixtures, and
other necessary portions of the system, in, through or over the lands of
others. If any such corporation, authorized by this article shall be
unable to agree upon the terms of purchase of any such property or
rights, it may acquire the same by condemnation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in Suffolk county such corporation shall not have the right
to condemn or use the land of others without first obtaining the prior
written consent of the county sewer agency and the department of
environmental control.
