• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 36: LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• Art. 9: TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS
• Ch. 27: Drainage Law

Text

A maintenance fund established under
section 44 of this chapter is subject to the use of the board for the
necessary or proper repair, maintenance, study, or evaluation of the
particular drain or combination of drains, which may be done whenever
the board, upon the recommendation of the county surveyor, finds that
it is necessary. The payment for all such maintenance work shall be
made out of the appropriate maintenance fund. However, if:
(1) a maintenance fund has not been established for the drain or
combination of drains; or
(2) a maintenance fund has been established but it is not sufficient
to pay for the work;
the general drain improvement fund shall be used to pay the cost of the
work or to pay for the deficiency, and the general drain improvement
fund shall be reimbursed from the appropriate maintenance fund when
it is established or becomes sufficient.
