The damages allowed to the owners of lands shall be paid or

upon the lands, for damage to which the award is made, for the
construction of any reservoirs, canals, ditches, or other work
proposed thereon. If the owner is unknown or there shall be a

will not receive payment, or there exists a mortgage or other

of the court, for the benefit of the owner, or parties
interested, to be paid or distributed as the court shall direct,
and such payment shall have the same effect as the tender to and
acceptance of the damages awarded by the true owners of the
land. This section shall not, however, prevent said
commissioners, their agents, servants, and employees from going
upon said lands to do any and all work found necessary prior to
making their assessment of benefits and award of damages, and
the trial on their report thereof.
