Text

If a pipeline company fails to obey an order within a time prescribed by the commission,
the commission may commence an equitable action in the district court of the county where
the defective, unsafe, or dangerous portion of the pipeline, device, apparatus, or equipment
is located to compel compliance with the commission’s order. If, after trial of the action, the
court finds that the order is reasonable, equitable, and just, the court shall issue a decree
compelling obedience to and compliance with the order and may grant such other relief as
may be just and proper. Appeal from the decree may be taken in the same manner as in other
actions.
