The District is here to help landowners work together to solve drainage problems.  Often times, a problem that exists on one property may exist in a similar fashion or be causing problems on other properties.  When problems like this are identified, the District attempts to work with all the landowners that lie within the local watershed to find a solution to the problem.  Contact Milt Link, Scott Stephens, Bret Bacon, or Mark Moseley  for more information.
 
Systematic Subsurface Drainage Plans PDF Print E-mail
One of the most popular services of the District is the development of subsurface drainage plans. This includes survey, development of a topographic map, sizing and location of mains and outlets, and systematic location of lateral tiles. The time required for survey and design is dependent upon the size of a field. There are often several landowners waiting for tile plans to be done so it is always a good idea to contact the District at least six months prior to the planned time of installation. Please note that crop rotations and seasonal weather can impact the time necessary to survey. Contact Scott Stephens, Bret Bacon, or Mark Moseley for more information.
