In making the apportionments hereunder, there shall be taken into consideration the benefits to accrue to each public corporation and also the extent to which each public corporation contributes to the conditions which make the drain necessary. Apportionments against the state shall be based upon the benefits and contributions as related solely to the drainage of state highways, and those against the county shall be based as related solely to the drainage of its county highways. Before a tentative apportionment shall be made, the drainage board shall designate the area to be served by the drain project, which may or may not include all of the area in a public corporation to be assessed and may divide the drain into sections or parts for purposes of apportionment or construction. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit a county from assuming any additional cost of the drain if 2/3 of the members elect of the county board of commissioners vote in favor thereof. The apportionment shall apply only to the proposed drain. The apportionments for extensions or other work subsequently performed under section 535 shall be reestablished by the board. When chapter 25 is employed in the apportionment of costs, the above proceedings shall be altered and supplemented as provided in chapter 25.
