Drainage issues and questions are common — how those issues are addressed can be anything but!
Landowners are encouraged to take the time to discuss their situations with adjoining landowners to resolve drainage concerns by working together. If additional assistance is required, please contact raquel.baker@in.nacdnet.net and a site visit will be scheduled.
Below are helpful documents for landowners and contact information for agencies that issue permits for work to be done that could affect Indiana waters. For a listing of contractors that do drainage work, click above.
