Tippecanoe drainage board approves CenterPoint Energy gas main encroachment on S. Ninth Street
Summary
The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved a petition from CenterPoint Energy to place a gas main under the Elliott County regulated drain at South Ninth Street; staff recommended approval after review.
The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board voted to approve a petition from CenterPoint Energy to install a gas main beneath the Elliott County regulated drain on South Ninth Street during its Oct. 8 meeting.
County Surveyor Doug (name not otherwise specified) told the board the project is “a proposed gas line…underneath the Elliott County regulated drain open ditch” and that staff had reviewed the petition; he recommended approval “as presented.” Board member Zach moved to approve the encroachment petition; a second was recorded and the board adopted the motion by voice vote.
The petition was described in the meeting as being on the east side of the bridge on South Ninth Street and shown on the plan sheet as a yellow line. Board members and staff briefly confirmed the work is part of the larger South Ninth Street project. No public comment was offered on the petition during the meeting.
Because the petition was for an encroachment beneath a regulated drain, the board’s staff review and the county surveyor’s recommendation were noted as the basis for the board’s action. The meeting record does not specify project schedule, contractor, or permit conditions; those details were not provided in the transcript.
Board members closed the item with a voice vote approving the petition.
