Where necessary in order to secure the best results from the

execution and operation of the plans of the district, or to prevent

damage to the district by the deterioration or misuse, or by the

pollution of the waters, of any water course therein, the board of

directors may make regulations for and may prescribe the manner of

building bridges, roads, or fences or other works in, into, along or

across any channel, reservoir, or other construction; and may

prescribe the manner in which ditches or other works shall be

adjusted to or connected with the works of the district or any

watercourse therein.

The construction of any works in a manner harmful to the

district or to any water course therein, and in a manner contrary to

that specified by the directors, shall be a misdemeanor, and upon

conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not more than Five

Hundred Dollars ($500.00). The directors shall have authority to

enforce by mandamus or otherwise all necessary regulations made by

them and authorized by this act, and may remove any harmful

construction or may close any opening improperly made. Any person,

corporation or municipality willfully failing to comply with such

regulations shall be liable for all damages caused by such failure

and for the cost of renewing any construction damaged or destroyed.
