< BackWhy can't a resident install a culvert pipe of any size on their property in the drainage easement? Why is there a size restriction?
Culvert pipe sizes are restricted because the rate or volume of water needs to be calculated by an engineer to maximize the volume of water that can flow thru a culvert during high events. It is required that home owners abide by the County standard of a 12 " culvert pipe under their driveways.
