§ 37-42-136 — Drainage of lands - surveys

The board of directors of any
irrigation district may cause surveys, maps, estimates of cost, and a report of
feasibility to be made looking to the drainage of the whole or any part of an
irrigation district which may have become, or threatens to become, seeped or too
wet or which requires drainage for profitable cultivation. Such surveys, maps,
estimates, and report shall be filed in the office of the district, and such matters
shall be submitted to the landowners at a general or special election held not less
than sixty days from the date of the filing of such documents. If the landowners
express their approval of such drainage undertaking by affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast at such election, the district may proceed to do such
drainage work and shall have like powers with reference thereto, including the
levying of an assessment or the issuing of bonds, to defray the expense thereof.
