§ 36-9-27-38 — Periodic maintenance of drains; county surveyor's report

When the board refers a regulated drain
classified in need of periodic maintenance to the county surveyor, the
county surveyor shall prepare a maintenance report that includes the
following items:
(1) The estimated annual cost of periodically maintaining the
drain.
(2) The name and address of each owner of land that will be
affected by the proposed maintenance, and the legal description
of the land of each owner, as shown by the tax duplicate or record
of transfers of the county in which the land is located. However,
a public way owned by a county or by the state shall be described
by its name or number, and the right-of-way of a railroad may be
described as the right-of-way of the owner through section,
township, and range. If the name of an owner is not known, and
cannot be discovered through diligent inquiry, the report may
describe the land as belonging to the person who appears to be the
owner according to the last tax duplicate or record of transfers of
the county where the land is located.
(3) The nature of the maintenance work required and how
frequently the work should be performed.
