I pay a drainage maintenance fee. Why doesn the Stormwater Utility maintain the ditch that crosses my property?
Drainage easements allow Stormwater Utility field crews to maintain public drainage systems that are on private property. Property owners that have creeks, ditches, or pipes that carry runoff across their parcel can grant a maintenance easement to the County for this portion of their property. Without an easement the responsibility for maintaining the ditch, pipe or channel falls on the property owner. If you would like more information on easements, call (916) 874-6851.
