The Wood Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting a landowner ditch maintenance question and answer session on Tuesday, April 18, at 7 p.m., at the Middleton Township Building 21745 N. Dixie Highway, Bowling Green.
Wood County has more than 3,000 miles of ditches and open waterways. Regular ditch maintenance is essential in maintaining a residential lot as well as farm fields.
Jim Carter, Wood SWCD Ditch Technician, and Duane Abke, Wood County Engineer Drainage Construction Coordinator, will present information on the necessity of maintaining ditches and waterways. They will discuss who owns the ditches, who is to maintain the ditches, and who is responsible for the cost.
The event is free and open to the community. Those attending are asked to register online at www.woodswcd.com, email julielause@woodswcd.com, or call the district office at 419-354-5517 #4. Light refreshments will be provided.
