When any sanitary district formed under this chapter shall enter, dig up or excavate any public way or other land for the purpose of laying its sewers, drains or pipes, constructing manholes or catch basins or their appurtenances, or maintaining the same, or for any other purpose, the work shall be done expeditiously, and on completion of the work the district shall restore said way or land to the condition it was in prior to such work, or to a condition equally as good.
