46.0.15. A municipality in whose territory all or part of a flood protection works entered in the register provided for in section 46.0.21 is located or a person designated by the municipality may, in particular, in the performance of its obligations,

(1)  enter and circulate on private land or the waters in the domain of the State, including with machinery; and

(2)  temporarily occupy private land or the waters in the domain of the State.

Those powers must be exercised reasonably and are subject to restoring the premises to their former state and compensating the owner or custodian of the premises, as the case may be, for any damage. However, if the damage sustained by the owner or custodian concerns an activity, structure or intervention that is prohibited under a regulation made in accordance with section 46.0.22, it need not be compensated for.
