OPINION

BAKER, Chief Judge.

Here, we are asked to consider the common arrangement between a utility company and a property developer in which the developer finances the extension of a sewer line to a proposed housing development. We find that such an arrangement is permissible and that the utility is entitled to exercise the power of eminent domain to effect the sewer line extension.
