Whenever the legislative authority or board of health, or the officers performing the duties of the legislative authority or board of health, of a municipal corporation, the board of health of a general health district, or a board of township trustees makes complaint, in writing, to the environmental protection agency that unsanitary conditions exist in any county, the agency's director forthwith shall inquire into and investigate the conditions complained of.

The board shall obey the order and proceed as provided in this chapter to establish a county sewer district, if required, to provide the necessary funds, to acquire or construct the facilities, and to maintain and operate the facilities, as required by the order and in a manner that is satisfactory to the director. Any part or all of the cost of the facilities or of the maintenance and operation of the facilities may be assessed upon the benefited properties as provided in this chapter.
