A copy of the resolution shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of title to land within the drainage service area as shown upon the last equalized assessment book of the distict at least 15 days prior to the time fixed for the hearing. Any error, omission, or mistake in the mailing, or any failure of any person to receive a copy, shall not invalidate the proceedings pursuant to this section.
