§ 38:1642 — Raising of embankments to conform to district levee

When any right of way for levees has been obtained, over any embankment belonging to any person, railroad, tramway, or other corporation, the owner of the embankment shall raise the embankment so that the embankment will conform with the levee of the district. If the person or corporation fails or refuses to raise the embankment in the manner herein provided, the district may within three months after it has finished the building of its own levee enter upon and raise the embankment of the person or corporation to conform with the district levee. The cost for the construction in all cases shall be paid by the drainage district.
