Text
Whenever a right of way is to be taken by condemnation proceedings for any purpose
authorized by chapters 61-24.3 or 61-24.6, the commission may take possession of the right of
way after making a written offer to purchase and depositing the amount of the offer with the
clerk of the district court of the county wherein the right of way is located. The clerk shall
immediately notify the property owner in writing of the deposit. Within thirty days after receiving
notice, the property owner may appeal to the district court by serving notice of appeal upon the
water commission and the matter must be tried at the next term of court with a jury, unless a jury
is waived, in the manner prescribed for trials under chapter 32-15.
