Condemnation. No sewer or water line shall run diagonally through private property when it is practicable, without injury to the sewer or water line, to construct it parallel with one of the exterior lines of such property; nor shall any public sewer or public water line be constructed through private property when it is practicable to construct it along or through a street, alley or other public highway. The municipal governing body shall have the power to condemn private property for public use, occupation or possession in the construction and repair of public and district sewers and water distribution lines, in the same manner as other property is condemned within the municipality for public uses.
