§ 73-1-15. District court procedure; notice
Upon the filing of a petition as provided for in Section 1 hereof, the district court
having jurisdiction shall, by order, require notice to be published by the clerk of
the court, at such time and places as the court may designate, giving notice to all
landowners affected by the proposed change that a hearing will be had at a time and
place designated in such notice, for the purpose of determining whether or not all
of the lands described in the certificate of the state engineer filed with the said
petition should be included in the artesian conservancy district, and the decree establishing
the district amended accordingly. It shall not be necessary for the clerk to name the parties interested, nor to describe
the separate lots, tracts or parcels of land affected in giving such notice, but it
shall be sufficient to give such description of the lands proposed to be included
as will enable the owner to determine whether or not his land is covered by such description. The notice shall state that any person affected by the proposed inclusion of such
lands shall have the right to file objections thereto, on or before the date set for
hearing. If, after hearing such objections, if any, and considering any evidence introduced
in support thereof, the court finds that the said lands described in the petition
should be included within the said artesian conservancy district, the court shall
enter an order amending said decree, as prayed for in said petition, and thereupon
said lands shall be included within the said conservancy district and shall be subject
to the same rights, powers and authority as given by law to such artesian conservancy
district over lands located within said district.
