The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved a petition to encroach on a portion of the SW Elliot County regulated drain for a MetroNet fiber project. County staff presented the petition and recommended approval.

Direction/assignment: contractors will be required to repair any tile encountered during hydro‑excavation. Formal action: encroachment petition approved as presented.
