(A) Seventy-five-foot drainage right-of-way. The Indiana Drainage Code Provides that all regulated drains in the state shall have a 75-foot right-of-way on either side of the centerline of any tiled drain and from the top edge of each bank of an open ditch as determined by the County Surveyor. This right-of-way is for the use of the Fayette County Board of County Commissioners.
(B) Use of drainage right-of-way. The owners of land over which the right-of-way runs may use the land in any manner consistent with the Indiana Drainage Code and the proper operation of the drain. Permanent structures may not be placed upon or over the right-of-way without the written consent of the Fayette County Drainage Board. Temporary structures may be placed upon or over the right-of-way without written consent of the Drainage Board but shall be removed immediately by the owner when so ordered by the Drainage Board or an authorized representative of the Drainage Board.
