1. (a) The superintendent of construction or a person interested in the work may also file with the court a supplemental petition showing that land not assessed for benefits or damages is affected by the work whether or not the land is described in the petition or in either report of the commissioners. Notice of the supplemental petition shall be given as provided for filing the original petition.

2. (b) The court shall refer the supplemental petition to the commissioners to report on the supplemental petition. All proceedings may be had and orders and decrees made, including the construction of additional arms or branches, as if the supplemental petition were an original petition. However, the proceedings on the supplemental petition do not affect the original petition unless the court, for good cause, orders the petitions consolidated. An order to consolidate the petitions, however, may not delay the original work.
