Carson Drain Number 10

Carson Drain Number 10 was built in 1906. It was rebuilt in 1961. It was worked on to some extent when County Road 21 was rebuilt.

Cleaned in 1994.

A series of rock chutes were built in 1988 at the lower end where the drain enters the woods. These chutes have worked quite well with a minimum of attention.

The first field approach west of County Road 2 had the pipes misaligned. At least one of those was backward.

The last cleanout was in 2002 and it was found to be above design grade in the middle of the drain.

Field inlets were extended in 2007 below County Road 2. The outlet needed work. A possible cleanout or reconstruction project is planned for 2017.

Christopherson Drain Number 50

Christopherson Drain Number 50 was built in 1976.

Length: 1.3 miles

This is a relatively new drain and is quite short as legal drains go.

This drain has worked well with only minor repairs required.

The last half-mile is quite deep and some erosion occurred for a few years, but seems to be stabilized now.

• Cleaned in 2002.
• Needs some work in the upper mile.
• FEMA replaced the outlet culvert in 2011.
• Cleaned in 2014 and 2015.
