Drainage Hwy 93
Fall 2012-large box culvert was installed to replace a previously much higher round drain approx 18" in diameter. Construction photos October and November 2012 (east and west sides).
- The new 4' culvert extends much deeper into the ground - dug to the point that water welled up from the hole.
- The water drains from north and south of the property on the east side, both feeding to the culvert that drains onto west property of Little Banff.
- Ditch south of culvert (on west side) angles to the culvert not to edges of property.
- Water now consistantly pools in west side ditch and saturates the west property (Little Banff) on the way to Orr Lake making it unfit for use or development. Lawn can no longer be mowed and looks unkept which is poor curb appeal for the business. Mosquitos a concern in pooled water and untended grass. 2ft pooling water in front of culvert a concern for safety of children.
** Jan 12, 2013 page shows culvert EAST side of Hwy 93 * There is video available shot Jan 12, 2013 that shows the water flowing from North and South on east side towards new box culvert, which then flows under hwy 93 and pools in west side ditch.
Jan 14, 2013 page shows photos of measurements. Water stands at 26 1/2" at which point it flows over ditch west towards Little Banff property. Water also seeps through rocks of ditch.
