Upon the final condemnation of the private way, it shall become the duty of the condemnor or his successors in title to maintain the private way and to keep it open and in a state of good repair. Failure to comply with this requirement for a period of one year shall constitute an abandonment of the private way; and the title thereto shall revert to the owner of the property over which the private way was condemned or his successors in title.
