The commissioner may provide a grant to a municipality for the cost of those facilities which he determines to be essential to a storm and sanitary sewer separation program when he finds that such facilities are primarily for the separation of storm and sanitary sewage and will eliminate a substantial source of pollution. The cost of the project used to determine the state grant in this section shall not include any cost for the acquisition of land or any rights or interests therein. For the purposes of this section and § 22a-439 such facilities shall be considered pollution abatement facilities. The grants under this section shall be subject to all the conditions of grants made under § 22a-439.
