It is a private system up until the connection... but unlike a residence on a city street... the street and the system is private for more than the short distance of a residence on the city street.
I think there is a change in the laws. That's one of the reasons why cities are replacing sewage and storm pipes. In the past, cities will tie storm drains into sewage and or sewage tied into storms. As the case in Lakeport on Union Ave. They found a number of them. When they restored the Colonial Theater in Laconia, they found some of the gray water draining into the canal under Canal Street. That was rectified.

So South Down may be in violation. Let's just hope Biden's infrastructure plan can help the HOAs.
