Whenever the utility engineer shall find that a tract of land is inadequately drained,
or that there is an obstruction to a culvert, covered drain, or other natural or man-made
watercourse that interferes with water naturally flowing therein or that such culvert,
drain, or watercourse is of insufficient capacity to reasonably accommodate the flow
of water, as required by this chapter, the utility engineer or a person designated
by the utility engineer shall notify the owner or person having possession, charge,
or management of such land to remove the obstruction or provide the necessary drainage.
Such notice shall be served on such persons by personal delivery, by mail at the last-known
place of residence, or by posting on the premises.
The owner must comply with the utility engineer's orders within the time specified
and not to exceed 30 days. Failure to comply with such order shall constitute an unlawful
act. Each additional period of 10 days thereafter during which the owner fails to
carry out the order of the utility engineer, or a designee, shall constitute a separate
offense.
