Warren Woods culvert failure will require manufactured replacement, county says
Summary
Interim Administrator Mike Sepic told commissioners the Warren Woods culvert has failed and that the replacement must be manufactured, a process he estimated will take 4–6 weeks. The repair involves both the Road Department and the Drain Commission; county staff are researching funding options.
Interim Administrator Mike Sepic told the Board of Commissioners on July 23 that the Warren Woods culvert has failed and will require a manufactured replacement that could delay the repair by several weeks.
"The culvert has failed," Sepic said, and he added that because the replacement involves both the Road Department and the Drain Commission they will both need to participate in the repair. He said the replacement "must be manufactured which will take 4-6 weeks." County staff are researching funding sources to cover the repair and noted Soil Erosion permits may be a potential avenue.
The board did not take formal action at the meeting to authorize a funding source; Sepic's report flagged the timeline constraint (manufacturing lead time) and cross-departmental coordination as the primary immediate issues. Commissioners asked staff to continue identifying funding and permitting options to expedite repairs while preserving required drain and road procedures.
The failure is now a short-term infrastructure priority for county public works and the Drain Commission; the replacement timeline depends on manufacturer schedules and permitting compliance.
