     103E.345 Apportionment of cost for joint county drainage 
  systems. 


    For joint county proceedings, the auditor where the 
 petition is filed shall file a certified copy of the viewers' 
 report with the auditor of each affected county within 20 days 
 after the date of the final order establishing the system.  When 
 the final order to establish the drainage project is made, the 
 drainage authority shall determine and order the percentage of 
 the cost of the drainage project to be paid by each affected 
 county.  The cost shall be in proportion to the benefits 
 received, unless there is a contrary reason.  An auditor of an 
 affected county may petition the drainage authority after the 
 final order is made to determine and order the percentage of 
 costs to be paid by the affected counties.  The drainage 
 authority shall hold a hearing five days after giving written 
 notice to the auditor of each affected county.  After giving the 
 notice to the auditors of the affected counties, the drainage 
 authority may, at any time that it is necessary, modify an order 
 or make an additional order to allocate the cost among the 
 affected counties.
