A. Installation of ditches and swales shall be in conformance with the site development drawing. Bottoms and side slopes shall be graded, seeded, sodded or any other approved means of erosion protection, as approved by the village, shall be utilized. When, in the opinion and sole discretion of the village, it appears desirable that any rear, side or cross yard drainage ditches or swales should be located within a lawfully dedicated easement for such purpose, then such easement shall be furnished by the owner by a proper written grant of easement, approved by the village attorney.
B. All ditches and swales, whether located in private or public property, shall be graded with due regard to the existing surrounding terrain so as to follow its grade to permit the normal flow of water and to assure the best possible drainage. It shall be the obligation of the owner of the property to remove all obstructions and debris from a ditch located on owner's property and to keep the same at all times clean and free flowing.
C. In the event the owner of the property does not remove all obstructions and debris from any ditch located on his property or keep it clean at all times and free flowing, then the village shall have the right to clear said ditch and charge the owner for the cost thereof. The village shall have the right to file a lien against the property in the event owner does not pay the costs incurred by the village within thirty (30) days from the date the village sends the owner a statement for the cost of said work.
