SECTION 1.Section 5-31-1520 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

Section 5-31-1520.Any city or town may extend its system to any property beyond the city limits provided that both the water and sewer systems are extended to such property. However, a city or town may not condition the extension of its system on annexation of the property owner's property, and may not prohibit a property owner from undertaking repairs to existing wells and septic systems if the property owner declines the extended system.
