Responsibilities for drainage easement are shared between the property owner and easement holder. The government authority will generally take care of the heavy-duty repair and maintenance work.
For instance, repairing pipes and clearing catch basins requires special equipment and expert supervision. So, property owners don’t have to worry about taking care of it.
However, the majority of maintenance work will be taken care of by the property owner, including tasks such as:
Controlling excess vegetation near the easement area to prevent clogging of drainage channels.
Getting rid of excess soil and rocks obstructing drainage channels
Taking proactive measures to prevent soil erosion L
Taking care of detention basins to prevent water accumulation during dry seasons
Fixing erosion gullies and reseeding the easement area
