be used for the extension of a sewerage system to serve unsewered areas or for any
other purpose; provided, where such municipal corporation does not operate or maintain
a sewage pumping, treatment, and disposal works, any or all of such surplus may be
transferred to the general fund of the municipal corporation in the manner provided
in sections 5705.15 and 5705.16 of the Revised Code .
