Residents and council schedule site visit after repeated drainage complaints on CR 113
Summary
A resident described ongoing ponding and drainage problems on County Road 113; council members discussed ditch cleaning, county highway involvement and agreed to an on-site inspection on Aug. 3 to evaluate solutions.
A resident raised long-standing drainage and ditching problems on County Road 113, saying water ponds near homes and inlets are clogged. Speakers discussed county highway involvement, the limits of municipal work (utility relocation and property impacts) and short-term fixes such as ditch cleaning.
Council members and the resident agreed a site visit would improve understanding of the problem and possible remedies. The group tentatively scheduled an inspection for Aug. 3 in the afternoon at 26697 so members could visualize grades, inlets and potential interventions before deciding on next steps.
Speakers emphasized constraints on full reconstruction—responses noted that redesigning the road or moving utilities would be costly and that current resources are limited. The county highway department was reported to be willing to inspect and clean ditches, but no firm engineering plan, cost estimate or schedule for permanent work was recorded in the transcript.
