Pennsylvania Statutes Title 3 P.S. Agriculture § 725. Confirmation of report of viewers; construction and repair of drains; overflow of lands

Upon the production of proof before the court that the damages so assessed have been paid to the party to whom the same were awarded, or to the clerk of the court of quarter sessions for the use of such party, the court may confirm the report and thereupon issue an order authorizing the party petitioning to excavate and construct said drain or drains in the manner as laid out and directed in and by said report.

The petitioner, his heirs and assigns, are empowered and required to keep and maintain said drain or drains in good order and repair, and, in default thereof, the court shall have power upon due proof of the facts to them made, and after full hearing, to order and direct the said drain or drains to be closed up and vacated.

Nothing contained in this act shall authorize the overflowing of any land not specifically provided for in the report.
