The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors have vowed to get tough on drainage engineering specifications and inspections for county drainage district projects. On Monday, the Board put their words into actions, denying a suggested change by a drainage engineering firm the county hired.
Late last week, the Board found out that there was a tile connection issue at the confluence of two drainage district laterals in Drainage District No. 33, northeast of Humboldt. Holland Construction of Forest City has been doing work on the project for the past two months. The work includes a new branch relief tile and lateral improvements on branch D, principally on the Virgil and Richard Williams farms, northeast of Humboldt.
I&S Group of Algona and Kent Rode were in charge of the project. Rode told the Board that the existing lateral D-1 and D-4 tiles were found to be approximately one foot lower than the original tiles.
