Just Some Water

The City of Lake Mills is responsible to administer storm water drainage within the City. The Drainage Board that is responsible for ditch 35 was still cleaning portions of the ditch within the corporate limits of the City and assessing the City. The Council petitioned the Drainage District 35 Board for an order transferring jurisdiction of the District area lying within the City’s corporate limits to the City.

The Public Hearing was held on November 12, 2012 at 10:00 am in the County Courthouse regarding the petition. The City Manager and City Attorney attended the Public Hearing to represent the City’s interests. The only attendees at the Public Hearing were City staff and the Drainage Board. After a short presentation and hearing, the Board moved and approved the transfer.
