Municipal Drain Services
Municipal
Drains
Municipal Drains provide a legal outlet for surface and subsurface waters.
In return, the landowners within the defined drainage watershed pay for the
construction of the original drain and ongoing maintenance of the drain.
Municipal Drains are more common in the agricultural areas of the
Municipality, however, there are some municipal drains within the urban
areas. The amount assessed for drainage maintenance will be in direct
proportion to the lands owned within the watershed. For more information
contact the Drainage Superintendent, Elizabeth Jeffery at 519-287-2015.
Private Tile
Drainage
Before installing ANY PRIVATE TILE landowners MUST notify the
Municipal Drainage Superintendent. Southwest Middlesex policy, as adopted on
October 16, 2002 dictates that:
- It is mandatory for all landowners and/or drainage
contractors to notify the Drainage Superintendent before installing
private tile outlets into any municipal drain.
- Private tile may not outlet into an open municipal
drain without using header tile.
- Private tile may not outlet into any roadside ditch
except by Agreement Drain under The Ontario
Drainage Act.
Tile Drain Loans
Assistance from the Province of Ontario may be available to
farmers for the installation of a tile drainage system on their property.
The maximum amount of loan available to an individual farmer in one year is
$20,000. These loans are repaid over a ten year period at an interest rate
of 8%. The availability of the loans is at the Province’s discretion.
Prior to proceeding with any work, or for additional
information, please contact the Drainage Superintendent, Elizabeth Jeffery at
519-287-2015. |
