Sec. 25. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the decision of the works board concerning all benefits is final and conclusive on all parties.

     (b) An owner of an assessed lot or parcel of land who has filed a written remonstrance with the board may appeal in the manner prescribed by IC 34-13-6.
