None of the above proceedings shall be held to reopen a\ndetermination of enhancements or an apportionment of cost, except as to\nthe particular matter involved. Should the department at any time find\nthat a former assessment, determination or apportionment appears with\nthe lapse of time or in the light of new knowledge and experience to\nhave become inequitable, it may so declare by written order and proceed\nto review the whole matter by following the full procedure laid down in\nwhichever one of the following sections is appropriate: 15-1919,\n15-1925, 15-1937 or 15-1939.\n
