Drainage board approves directional‑bore petitions for Duke Energy and Tipmont on SW Elliott drain
Summary
The board approved two petitions to perform directional boring under the SW Elliott regulated drain: one from Duke Energy and one from Tipmont; both were recommended by staff after review.
The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved two petitions for directional boring beneath the SW Elliott regulated drain: a Duke Energy project immediately south of State Road 38 and east of Veterans Memorial Parkway and a Tipmont project immediately east of County Road 500 East and south of Old County Road 350 South.
County staff reviewed both petitions and recommended approval; staff said each project involves directional boring beneath the open ditch and that the board could consider the petitions together. The board approved the petitions by voice vote; the transcript records no roll‑call tally.
Staff did not provide construction schedules or contract awards for either petition during the meeting. The petitions will proceed subject to the county’s standard permit conditions and any required coordination with utilities and right‑of‑way owners.
