In no case shall any railroad company construct a roadbed in or through the city without first constructing the necessary culverts or sluices as the natural lay of the land requires for the drainage of the adjacent land. If any such company makes any culvert or sluiceway under its roadbed which is insufficient to carry all the water that flows to it, whenever the company is notified to enlarge such culverts or sluiceways within 20 days, by service of written notice upon the section boss in charge of the section where such obstruction exists, the company shall proceed to repair and enlarge the culvert or sluiceway within 20 days after service of such notice. Any railroad company failing to make the necessary repairs within such time shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
