Copy as parenthetical citation

At least 10 days prior to the date set for the final hearing before the Superior Court, any interested person may file an objection in writing to the report of the board of ditch commissioners. The Superior Court shall review the report of the board of ditch commissioners and any objections filed thereto, and make, in consultation with the ditch commissioners, such changes as are necessary to render substantial and equal justice to all interested persons. Damages to any 1 landowner shall not be grounds for denying the petition, but may be used to adjust the assessment base of that property or the damages to be paid to that landowner and shall be considered as part of the total cost of the proposed tax ditch. If the conditions set forth in § 4136(c) of this title, still exist after the objections have been considered and the necessary changes have been made in the report of the board of ditch commissioners, the Superior Court shall confirm the report and issue an order granting the petition for the formation of the proposed tax ditch, said order to be known as the ditch order. The confirmed report shall be considered a part of said ditch order. If no objections are presented at the final hearing before the Superior Court the ditch order shall become effective when issued.
