48-2989. Construction of works across public
or private property
The board of directors may construct district works across any stream of water,
water-course, street, avenue, highway, railway, canal, ditch, flume or private property
which the route of the canal or canals, ditches, conduits or other irrigation or drainage
works or appurtenances intersect or cross. If the board and the persons owning or
controlling any property, installation or franchise to be used or crossed cannot agree on
the amount to be paid for the taking, use or privilege thereof, such amount shall be
ascertained and determined in the manner provided by law for taking land for public
uses. The district may locate, construct and maintain the works or reservoirs over,
through or upon any lands which are the property of the state under the direction and
supervision of the state land department.
