                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TILE SYSTEM OF DRAINAGE (§ 21-305)

Whenever a supplementary petition signed by the owner or owners of any tract of
land in the proposed district, be subsequently filed with the clerk of the
court, requesting that tile be used to drain the tract, the clerk shall
immediately notify the engineer of the district of such petition. The engineer
shall thereupon design and lay out a system of tile drainage upon the tract, and
the board of viewers appointed to classify the lands in the district, as
hereinafter provided for, shall, in the schedule of classification, place a
special assessment upon the tract and also classify the tract in a class which
will result in the total assessment being equal to the cost of the tile drainage
of the tract, in addition to the proportional part of the liability for other
benefits derived from the drainage canals of the district.
		The tile drainage system shall become part of the proposed drainage district,
and shall be governed by all the provisions of this chapter, insofar as the same
may be applicable.
