Drainage & Culverts
Learn how the County manages roadside drainage, what culverts do, and how to recognize common drainage problems.
Managing Drainage
The County performs the maintenance for all water drainage within the county limits and adjacent to the county roadways and lands. Culverts are important because they help stormwater management and where water goes in the County.
If you suspect any of the following culvert issues, please contact our Public Works department.
Common Culvert Problems
Washout
A washout can happen when a culvert is too small to handle the amount of water flowing through it. When the water cannot pass through the culvert, it may find another path around the road or surrounding land.
Frozen Culvert
A frozen culvert may cause water to pool on the intake side while little or no water flows from the other side.
Plugged Culvert
Grass, branches, trees, or other debris can block the entrance to a culvert. You may notice water pooling on one side with little or no flow coming out the other side.
