Any county may remove any ponds, pools, or swamp marshes, or reclaim swamp land that may cause sickness in the county, by ditching, leveeing, or cleaning out logs and brush that may cause any creek to scatter or form pools of stagnant water. The cost shall be paid for out of the county levy or by taxation of the property in the county subject to taxation for state purposes. When the fiscal court undertakes such a project, it may acquire for the county by contract or condemnation any land necessary to carry out the project. If condemnation proceedings are necessary, they shall be conducted in the manner provided in the Eminent Domain Act of Kentucky.
