(a) Whenever the Director of Public Service and Safety or his designee shall find that a tract of land is inadequately drained, or that there is an obstruction to a culvert, covered drain, or other natural or man-made watercourse that interferes with water naturally flowing therein or that such culvert, drain, or watercourse is of insufficient capacity to reasonably accommodate the flow of water, as required by this chapter, the Director of Public Service and Safety or his designee shall notify the owner or person having possession, charge, or management of such land to remove the obstruction or provide the necessary drainage. Such Notice shall be served on such persons by personal delivery, by mail at the last-known place of residence, or by posting on the Premises.
(b) The owner must comply with the Director of Public Service and Safety orders within the time specified and not to exceed thirty (30) days. Failure to comply with such order shall constitute an unlawful act and be subject to Section 943.99. Each additional period of thirty (30) days thereafter during which the owner fails to carry out the order of the Director of Safety Service or his designee, shall constitute a separate offense.
