Upon the filing of a petition for the approval of a contract
establishing a joint system, it shall be presented to the court, which

publish notice of the hearing on the petition in a newspaper of general
circulation published in the county in which the petitioning district is
situated. The notice shall be entitled "Drainage Notice", shall be
addressed "To All Persons Interested" and must state (a) in what court and
on what date the petition was filed, (b) in summary form, the terms of the
contract, including the names of the parties to the contract, and (c) the
place, date and hour the petition will be heard. The notice shall be
published once each week for 2 successive weeks and the first publication
of the notice shall be at least 2 weeks prior to the date fixed for
hearing. When a petitioning district is situated in 2 or more counties,
then such notice shall be given as aforesaid by publishing the same in
newspapers of general circulation published in each of said counties. If no
newspaper of general circulation is published in any such county, then
publication of the notice shall be in a newspaper having general
circulation in that county. Notice by mailing shall not be required.
