     103E.055 Reimbursement of cost of former surveys when 
  used later. 


    If after a proceeding has begun a survey has been made and 
 a proceeding to establish a drainage project has been dismissed 
 or the drainage project has not been established, and if all or 
 a part of the former survey is used by the engineer for a 
 drainage proceeding in the same area, the amount saved in the 
 subsequent proceedings must be paid to the proper parties 
 according to this section.  If the parties who paid the expense 
 of the former survey make a petition, the drainage authority 
 shall:  


    (1) determine the amount of benefit that was derived by the 
 subsequent proceedings from the former survey; 


    (2) order the amount of the benefit to be paid to the 
 proper parties; and 


    (3) charge the amount paid as a cost of the subsequent 
 drainage proceeding.
