Drainage assessment appeal dismissed; Tribunal finds engineer's assessment methodology fair and reasonable.
The appellant appealed the drainage assessments allocated to his properties under section 54 of the Drainage Act regarding the Switzer Drain.
The appellant argued that the project primarily benefited another property owner and that his assessments were unfair, particularly given a previous cleanout he funded.
The Tribunal accepted the evidence of the municipal engineer, who used a modified Todgham Method to calculate the assessments, and found that the assessments were fair, reasonable, and in compliance with the Drainage Act.
The appeal was denied.
