Summary
The board approved a petition allowing MetroNet to encroach on the SW Elliot County regulated drain to install fiber, with conditions that known tile be repaired if encountered.
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.

A board member moved to approve the petition; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no public comment.
Discussion only: staff described the proposed pole and excavation locations in relation to the Hester and Moxing regulated drain and noted the expected need for repair if tile is encountered. Direction/assignment: contractors will be required to repair any tile encountered during hydro‑excavation. Formal action: encroachment petition approved as presented.
