§ 8.4. SURFACE DRAINAGE.  


Latest version.
  • Natural drainage swales, creeks, streams or other natural paths for water movement outside the ROW, whether in a drainage easement or not, are not considered public drainage systems. Maintenance of these natural drainage paths is the responsibility of the property owner on which that drainage course traverses. The city may direct stormwater into open drainage swales, creeks, streams, etc. outside the ROW in order to maintain suitable drainage for roadway and ROW areas. The property owner is responsible for maintaining the drainage course open and in a free flowing condition through the use of periodic clearing of vegetation, mowing, and removal of debris to maintain efficient movement of water.
