140. Every municipality shall submit to the executive committee for approval any project for the construction, enlargement or alteration of works or plants for water treatment, a waterworks system or a sewer system before passing the resolution or the by-law necessary for implementing such project.

Within fifteen days after receiving such application, the executive committee shall determine whether such project is of a purely local nature or has any repercussion on any territory larger than that of the municipality.

If the executive committee decides that the project has intermunicipal repercussions the Council may, by resolution, subject to the approval of the Deputy Minister of Environment, order such alterations as it deems expedient to the plans and specifications of the proposed works and authorize the municipality to carry out such works. Failing an agreement between the Community and the municipalities involved concerning the apportionment of the cost of the work, such apportionment shall be ordered by the Deputy Minister of Environment, in accordance with the standards prescribed by regulation of the Government. An appeal shall lie from such decision of the Deputy Minister according to sections 96 to 103 of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2).
