Tribunal confirmed drainage report but ordered municipality to consider a new report for a larger tile drain.
Several ratepayers appealed the assessments and the engineer's report for the Abraham Municipal Drain Improvement.
The appellants preferred the installation of a new, larger tile drain rather than the proposed cost-sensitive solution involving a detention berm that would flood a woodlot.
The Tribunal dismissed the assessment appeals as no evidence was presented against them.
The Tribunal confirmed the existing report but ordered the Township not to proceed until it received and considered a new report detailing the construction of a large tile drain, giving the ratepayers an opportunity to review the preferred but more expensive option.
