Drainage swales are classified as a “surface drainage facility”. As spring is now upon us, here’s a friendly reminder that if you own or occupy a property that has any potion of a drainage swale on it, you are required to ensure: “The Surface Drainage Facility remains clear of soil, silt, Yard Waste, debris, ice, snow or other matter which may obstruct, restrict or prevent the flow of Stormwater within the Surface Drainage Facility or the Stormwater System.”
