Drainage Districts provide an outlet for drainage tile. This outlet is essential for adequate soil conditions and high yields. Much of Iowa would be unfarmable without drainage. Most drainage districts in Iowa were constructed over 100 years ago with few improvements since then. A 1983 Iowa State University Study found that 95% of drainage district tiles were undersized- not meeting the needs of modern agriculture.

To improve or repair a drainage district tile or open ditch, a landowner must file a petition with the County Auditor's Office. An engineer will survey and study the existing district. They will then make a report to recommend a solution, and plans to achieve this. All landowners within the district are invited to a public hearing to discuss the report and plans.
