Before any such consolidated district shall be finally created the governing authority of the parish shall publish in the official journal of the parish at least once not less than fifteen days prior to the date of hearing a notice of its intention to create such district and fixing a date for the holding of a public hearing in which all persons interested may be heard on the question of benefit accruing to their property by reason of the creation of the district.
