Allen County Drainage Board approved the City of Fort Wayne's petition to bore a 30‑inch water main under the Trier Upper Drain to cross Adams Center Road, requiring boring to be at least 5 feet below lowest ditch grade or 3 feet below existing tile.

The City of Fort Wayne petitioned to install a 30‑inch water main under the Trier Upper Drain by directional boring (Doc #26‑054). ACSO recommended approval and specified minimum depth requirements: boring must be at least 5 feet below the lowest ditch grade or 3 feet below tile. The board approved the encroachment with those requirements; Ron Turpin moved to approve and Mark Rekeweg seconded.

The approval allows the City to proceed with the planned directional boring so long as the minimum depth standards are met. The minutes do not record additional public comment on this item.
