Roadside Ditches
Roadside ditches perform four (4) main functions:
- They serve to drain water from the road base and sub grade. Their purpose is not to drain neighbouring properties, but in many cases, they may.
- They carry collected water to an appropriate outlet.
- They stop the uncollected sheet of surface water coming from outside the road allowance from getting on the road.
- They assist in winter snow clearing operations by depositing snow below the elevation of the road surface.
Property owners do not have absolute right to outlet to roadside ditches. The Township reserves the right to remove or restrict any outlets to ditches that cause problems with operation or damage the drainage system. Please contact the Township's Public Works Department before directing water to the Township's ditches.
