1. Unless the claimant waives the requirement for a hearing, the State Engineer shall fix a time and place for the hearing of objections. Notice of the hearing may be sent by registered or certified mail to the persons to be affected by the objections, and the receipt therefor constitutes legal and valid proof of service. The notice may also be served by the State Engineer, or by any person, appointed by the State Engineer, qualified and competent to serve a summons in civil actions. Return thereof must be made in the same manner as in civil actions in the district courts of this state.
2. The State Engineer may adjourn hearings from time to time upon reasonable notice to all parties interested. Depositions may be taken by any person authorized to administer oaths and designated by the State Engineer or the parties in interest, and oral testimony may be introduced in all hearings.
3. Witnesses are entitled to receive fees as in civil cases, to be paid by the party calling those witnesses.
4. The evidence in the proceedings must be confined to the subjects enumerated in the objections and the preliminary order of determination.
5. All testimony taken at the hearings must be reported and transcribed in its entirety.
