Surface and subsurface drains

Designs for the construction or reconstruction of any surface or subsurface drainage control systems including, but not limited to, ditches, trenches, swales, curtain drains, French drains or drainage systems intended to lower the natural water table or divert surface runoff which discharges closer than 75 feet to a boundary must be submitted to the zoning official. After a determination by the director of public works that the proposed design will not adversely impact the existing drainage system of any town road or public right-of-way by increasing the volume of water to be carried by such system, the zoning official will issue a permit for construction.
