§ 33.1-179. Reconstruction if dam is washed out
In case such a dam is washed out and the owner refuses to replace the same, the Commissioner, with or without the consent of such owner or occupier, may construct a highway across the same; but in case the owner desires to replace the dam and use the pond, he shall be permitted to do so by paying to the Commissioner one half of the cost and expenses of replacing the dam, up to a width of twelve feet at the top, and the difference between the cost, if any, of replacing the bridge normally required to carry the water of the stream and the cost of a bridge which includes floodgates and adequate spillway.
(Code 1950, § 33-93; 1970, c. 322.)
