Wright County to use watershed funds for two ditch projects; public hearing set for Judicial Ditch No. 1

Apr 22, 2026

County staff reported $100,000 in Mississippi River/St. Cloud Watershed funding for work on County Ditch 20 and County Ditch 24; bids exceeded $110,000 and Wright Soil and Water Office will cover the extra so no assessments will be levied. The board also set a June 16 public hearing on a petition for partial abandonment of Judicial Ditch No. 1 under Minn. Stat. 103E.806.
