Whoever is aggrieved by an order made under section one hundred and forty-three or one hundred and fifty-two may, within three days after service of the order upon him, give written notice of appeal to the board or department of environmental protection, and file a petition for a jury in the superior court in the county where the premises affected are located, and, after notice to the board or department of environmental protection, may have a trial in the same manner as other civil cases are tried by jury.
