County draft would require developers to pipe open ditches and canals in subdivisions
Summary
Draft ordinance language would require developers to pipe open ditches, canals, or other conveyance features located within or within 30 feet of a proposed subdivision in accordance with Utah Code 73-1-15.5; pipeline features must preserve the facility’s intended use.
A draft Box Elder County ordinance would require developers to pipe all open ditches, canals and similar water conveyance facilities located within a proposed subdivision or within 30 feet of the subdivision boundary. The ordinance text cites Utah Code 73-1-15.5 and specifies that the pipeline must include features to continue serving the conveyance’s intended use, such as pipe and risers, drainage inlets and control structures.
The text states that “All open ditches, canals, or other water conveyance facilities located within the boundaries of a proposed subdivision or adjacent within 30 feet of the centerline of the ditch to the subdivision boundary shall be piped by the developer in accordance with 73-1-15.5 of the Utah State Code,” a provision read aloud by a Staff member in the transcript. Enforcement is assigned to the Box Elder County Community Development Department, which may withhold or revoke subdivision approvals, permits or certificates of occupancy for noncompliance.
