Chapter 8 – Public Works

(2) When the installation of a new culvert is necessary due to damage to an existing
culvert by the Village, as a result of construction contracted for by the Village, or if
the existing culvert has become unserviceable due to neglect on the part of the
Village in maintaining proper flow through the culvert, the Village will assume the
cost of the new culvert.

(3) When the installation of a new culvert is necessary due to natural deterioration or
disintegration, or due to damage by persons not under hire by or acting for the
Village, or if the existing culvert was of such construction or material so as not to
meet the requirements of the Public Works Committee, the cost for the new culvert
shall be borne by the property owner.

(4) When the installation of a new culvert is necessary to replace an existing culvert
which is of insufficient cross section for proper drainage, the property owner shall
pay the difference between the then current cost of the size culvert removed and the
then current cost of the new culvert, provided that the existing culvert meets all the
requirements of the Public Works Committee other than size. If the existing culvert
is of 12” or larger size and meets all the requirements of the Public Works
Committee other than size, there will be no charge to the property owner.
