§ 15-1941. Major repairs of drainage works.

1. Major repairs, alterations, extensions and improvements of drainage

works for a drainage improvement district may be made by the department

on petition therefor and after procedure thereon similar to that

specified in section 15-1931 for original construction. If additional

surveys are required, they may be authorized as provided in sections

15-1911, 15-1913, 15-1915 and 15-1917, except that the cost of surveys

and other expenses may be included in the cost of the improvement and

assessed on the properties to be served thereby in accordance with the

apportionment of cost of the repairs.

2. Except where the department shall otherwise determine, the cost of

improvements and repairs to a ditch already built under the provisions

of title 19 of this article, or of any former drainage laws, shall be

apportioned in the same manner as the original cost was apportioned, but

the department may make a new apportionment by following the procedure

above specified.
