Whenever, in the judgment of the governing body of any city in the state
of Kansas, in the construction, maintenance and operation of its sewer
system, whether it be a part of its sanitary sewer system, storm sewer
system, or a combination of both, that on account of elevation, dike, or
any other reason, it is impracticable, or too expensive, to excavate in
connection with such sewer or intercepting sewer with another sewer
district, or intercepting sewer, or in order to provide an outlet of any
kind for the sewage of such sewer or intercepting sewer district, whether
such sewers be sanitary sewers, storm sewers, or a combination of both, the
governing body of such city is hereby empowered to construct a pumping
station for the purpose of pumping such sewage of such sewer or
intercepting sewer to some other sewer district in said city over any
elevation, dike or other obstruction in order to conduct the sewage thereof
to a point of outlet, whether such outlet be an intercepting sewer, another
main sewer district, a sewage disposal plant, or a stream.
