Before determining whether or not such system is adequate the secretary of health and environment shall hold a hearing at some convenient place within such township, notice of which hearing shall be published once in the official county newspaper at least 10 days prior to such hearing, and at such hearing the governing body of such sewage district or any other interested person may appear. The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act.
