Drainage assessment report referred back to engineer for reconsideration due to errors and boundary issues.
The appellants appealed the decision of the Court of Revision regarding the assessments for the repair of the Edgar Sideroad Drain.
The engineer had based the assessments on a 1979 report but later provided a revised schedule that changed almost every property's assessment.
The appellants and other assessed owners raised concerns about the calculation of cut-off benefits, watershed boundaries, and the distribution of costs.
The engineer acknowledged errors and requested the report be referred back.
The Tribunal ordered the report referred back to the engineer for reconsideration under section 51(1) of the Drainage Act, with specific recommendations for the revised report, and ordered that the engineering costs for the revision and hearing not be charged to the drainage project.
