Drain Repair & Improvement

Landowners can request to repair or to improve the whole or part of a drainage system.  All projects require an engineer's report.  The following are common requests for repair/improvement:

• New access bridges or culverts
• Replacement of existing bridges or culverts
• Installation of piping to enclose the drain
• Relocation of the drain
• Change of use or subsequent connections
• New assessment schedule

Process for initiating drain repair or improvements on a municipal drain:

1. The Municipality receives a request for repair or improvement; 

2. The drainage engineer & superintendent will hold a site meeting with affected landowners to discuss the proposed work;

3. The drainage engineer will prepare a report and send to the Municipality for consideration;

4. The Municipality will tender the project and construction will be completed.
