If a board fails to make necessary drainage repairs or improvements or fails to act as provided in §§ 46A-10A-81 to 46A-10A-88, inclusive, a majority of the owners of lands affected or likely to be affected by the proposed repairs or improvements may file with the county auditor a petition signed by them requesting the board to take such action. If the drainage extends over more than one county, a petition shall be filed in each county and each involved board shall act.
