How about all of this, and more?
Is it too much when it goes over the road?
Is it too much when Farmers feilds turn into lakes?
Do you think its time to change those 2 culverts to one BIG one?

Drain cleaned out
The VanBuuren Drain has been cleaned out. Pictures to follow.
Thanks to the Drainage superintendant for making this happen.
I still wonder about the 2 undersized culverts. Not seeing them replaced with 1 big one.
Not seeing the shared farmers ditch cleaned out.
(the one that will keep on flooding and holding stagnant water, the one that the township has hooked up a municipal drain into). Hope it doesn't rain too much.
At least the drain has been cleaned out, good news.
All in all, alot of progress has been made these past 2 years.
It took 13 years to get the front roadside ditches working, and 15 years for the drain to get a clean out.
Progress.

All landowners that
own lands within the watershed boundary of this Municipal Drain can
expect a bill for the maintenance.
Total to all lands
is $63,085.00
With that price tag
lets hope that the maintenance can be done this year as promised,
and that the 2 undersized culverts finally get replaced.
Not seeing anything

Flooding continues as road culvert backs up VanBuuren Drain
There is a overwhelming amount of water that forms into lakes and makes its way to the culvert located under regional road 73 (Mud St.).
These lakes can't get threw the undersize culvert quick enough and backs up into our yards.

The Supervisor of Road Operations, admits that he is responsible for the culvert, but fails to acknowledge that there is any problem. He says "I replaced it last fall", referring to the culvert.
The following pictures were taken of the road on top of the culvert March 15, 2014, and again on May 13, 2014. There is no evidence that the road was dug up to replace the culvert.

Grimsby and West Lincoln officials have been contacted on many occasions regarding the flooding.
On May 13, 2014 a report was made to West Lincoln Public Works and the link to this blog was given to them regarding the flooding. I was transferred to the Drainage Superintendent. He said that he will send someone out.
An official did call from West Lincoln and left a message saying
“We
know there’s a problem with the VanBuuren Drain”
,and he has “fired off the report to the drainage
superintendent to review”.
Niagara Region's Road Operations Manager was also contacted on July 7, 2014 about the flooding.
He has not responded to date.
