If any landowner fails to prevent damage to a township road caused by severe and persistent wind or water erosion on the landowner's property, the township may repair the damage and assess the cost of the repairs against the landowner. If the landowner fails to pay the cost of the repairs before the first day of November in the year in which the repairs are performed, the cost shall be assessed against the landowner's property.
