After stormwater runoff damaged the current district drainage system, the Mecosta County Drain
Commission is looking to make repairs.

This restoration was petitioned by local property owners and will be funded by the drainage district.
“This is a newly established drain system,” Drain Commissioner Karla Miller said. “The drain will be
engineered to reduce the flow at the outlet and the banks will be hard armored to prevent further
erosion.”

The project is not ready for construction and still needs an easement and EGLE permit approved. Miller
is hoping the project will be out for bid by the end of 2022.
