Stormwater Ditch Piping Policy

We have received requests from citizens seeking to have ditches piped on their property.   In my view, piping ditches is a good policy, because it reduces maintenance costs.   Clearing out open ditches is costly.   Unfortunately, it is very costly to pipe in ditches. 

However, if a citizen is willing to pay to pipe in some or all of the ditches on their property, they may do so.   It is important that the piping be done properly.   Here is the Town's new policy on piping ditches.
