1 . 2 Last winter I reviewed a drainage problem on the property owned
by Mr. & Mrs . J.W. Purdy, Lot 5 , Concession 7 , former Township of
Darlington. The problem is that there is a depression in the
front yard of the Purdy property which results in water ponding
in the front yard. At the time of reviewing the problem, there
was a large area of the front yard covered in ice.
1 . 3 1 was advised that the problem was caused by the construction of
the road in front of the Purdy property. Based on this
information, I agreed to enter onto the Purdy property to dig a
small drainage ditch from the low area in front of the house to
the south-east corner of the property.
1 . 4 During the 1988 Road Tour with Council , I was advised that this
problem has existed for many years and that it is more than
twenty years since the road was constructed.
1 . 5 Based on the above information, the Purdy' s were advised that we
would not enter onto their property to dig the drainage ditch.
2 . 0 RECOMMENDATION
2 . 1 Based on the above, it is recommended that Mr. & Mrs . Purdy be
advised that Council has considered their request that the Town
construct a drainage ditch on their property to solve the
drainage problem in front of the house and have decided that the
problem is not the responsibility of the Town to correct .
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
