[Ord. No. 05-01, 2-28-2005]
It shall be unlawful to obstruct any drain or storm sewer in
any public street or property.
[Amended 2-22-2016 by Ord. No. 16-01]
Culverts shall be installed where driveways or walkways cross
open ditches. Culverts shall be constructed from galvanized corrugated
steel; corrugated aluminum alloy; or HDPE dual-walled pipe with a
corrugated exterior and smooth interior. Corrugated steel and corrugated
aluminum alloy culvert pipes shall have a sixteen-gauge minimum wall
thickness. HDPE dual-walled pipe shall meet the requirements ASTM
F2306 and AASSHTO M294. No culvert shall have a diameter of less than
12 inches. In no case shall driveway culverts be less than 20 feet
in length or more than 24 feet in length without a variance from the
Village Board.
Culverts for new homes shall be purchased by the property owner
and installed by the Village. Installed culverts are maintained by
the Village.
The Village installs the culvert with enough rock to hold the
culvert in place until the resident finishes the driveway. If a resident
has one driveway with a culvert, but requests an additional driveway,
the resident shall pay for the culvert; the Village will install the
culvert with rock to hold it and the resident will complete the driveway.
The expense of replacing any culvert shall be borne by the Village
if said culvert is determined to be in need of replacement because
of deterioration, being full of dirt, etc. If a resident wants to
extend their culvert to the maximum 24 feet, the resident shall pay
for the amount of the extension. Replacement does not include surface
improvements.
