general public in connection with said services. Said entry shall

not be deemed a trespass, nor shall an entry pursuant to any

condemnation proceedings which may be pending be deemed a trespass.

If the municipality does not have written consent for entry from the

owner and lessee, the municipality shall give notice to the owner

and lessee of the property to be entered, by certified mail at least

fourteen (14) days prior to any entry. If the owner and lessee are

unable to be given notice by certified mail, notice shall be given

by publication.

as to the amount of any damage, either the person incurring any

damage to land, water, or premises or the municipality may file a

petition with the district court in the county where the alleged

damage occurred requesting the appointment of a commissioner to

appraise the damage and proceed to have the damage determined as in

condemnation proceedings.
