Resident asks whether TxDOT or homeowners must maintain culverts on State Road 545
Summary
Chris Rogers told the council erosion and exposed gas lines near his property and asked whether TxDOT or homeowners are responsible for culvert maintenance on State Road 545; council said it would investigate and follow up.
Chris Rogers, a Blue Ridge resident, asked the council to clarify responsibility for culvert maintenance on State Road 545 after erosion following recent storms exposed a gas line near his property. Rogers said he had contacted TxDOT previously and that TxDOT "will not maintain ditches" beyond the pavement; he asked whether the city would take action or whether property owners are responsible.
Council members said they would look into the issue and follow up with the resident and with TxDOT about responsibilities and possible repairs. Rogers described a personal experience with flooding near his home and asked the city to coordinate any necessary remediation.
