If the effectiveness of any drainage activity or official control depends upon cooperative action by the board of an adjoining county, and if voluntary joint drainage efforts, undertaken in good faith pursuant to § 46A-10A-9, have been unsuccessful, a board may file a petition with the Water Management Board requesting assistance in the development of an intercounty drainage plan or official control. For purposes of the provisions of §§ 46A-10A-9.1 to 46A-10A-9.5, inclusive, the term “board” means Board or County Drainage Commission, if established.
