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.

Van Buuren Municipal Drain Project 2015


The project is scheduled to begin October 26, 2015 and last for 20 working days.

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 happen yet.
