Public Ditch System

The ditch system in Chisago County plays an important role in managing the drainage of surface water in many parts of the County. In 2014, Chisago County was awarded a grant under the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Soil Erosion and Drainage Law Compliance Program. This grant was to help Chisago County implement two objectives: 1.) Develop an inventory of the County Public Ditch System; and 2.) Develop a plan for management and maintenance of the Chisago County Ditch System.
