The owner of the land injured may within the time provided in section 717 offer in writing to the owner of the mill, dam or canal to accept a reduced compensation for the future. If the owner of the mill, dam or canal declines to pay it, and brings a new complaint to obtain a reduction, the owner of the mill, dam or canal may not recover costs, unless the compensation is reduced to a sum less than what was offered. [PL 2023, c. 405, Pt. A, §138 (AMD).]
