(a) The Village Engineer and the Road Commissioner shall, from time to time, inspect the various street drainage ditches and natural watercourses in the Village. If the Road Commissioner or the Engineer finds that any driveway drainage culvert is obstructed, broken or of improper size, location or pitch, or deviates from the established grade, or if either of them finds that any street drainage ditch or natural watercourse in the Village has been obstructed or is otherwise impaired, the Engineer or the Road Commissioner shall promptly report the same to the Mayor. The Mayor shall notify the owner of the property abutting the culvert, ditch or watercourse or person, who is responsible for corrections, as determined by the Engineer or the Road Commissioner. If the corrections are not made, the Mayor shall report the same to Council which may issue further notices or may begin an assessment procedure as set forth in these Codified Ordinances and in State law.
