Board maintained drains
Dear Danvm Drainage Commissioners,
Following the information provided in response to my recent request, I understand but please confirm, that all agricultural ratepayers pay the same drainage rate.
Please also provide the following information:
1. The smallest length in metres of Board maintained drains of an individual ratepayer
2. The largest length in metres of Board maintained drains of an individual ratepayer
3. The cost to the Board per metre of maintaining a drain.
4. Do ratepayers benefitting from Board maintained drains provide the Board with anything in return for maintenance of their drains?
5. The number of agricultural Board members with drains maintained by the Board (if any)
6. The length in metres of each Board member maintained drains. These can be numbered, I am not requesting details of any individual.
7. Has the Board made a resolution to make crop loss payments without evidence of damage to crops?
Yours faithfully,
mary hartley

Dear Alison Briggs,
Thank you for your letter.
My question is effectively connected with the query on crop loss payments which I understand some Boards pay to ratepayers automatically.
I would like to know if the Board has straight forward access to the ditch to be maintained, keys to gates, no obstacles in place allowing the Board to do the necessary work. Do ratepayers leave a hard grass strip for equipment to use as a trade off for their drains being cleared or do you have to go around crops?
What happens if the harvest has not been brought in, does the Board wait?
Yours sincerely,
mary hartley

Dear Alison Briggs,
Thank you for your letter.
Regarding point 7. Please confirm the amount of drainage rates paid by each numbered Board Member.
The information requested related to Board maintenance activity. I understand the majority of the Board district is pumped.
As a further request for information, and to help my understanding of Board work, the cost and who pays for it, please confirm the cost attributable to each Member of pumping that water.
Yours sincerely,
mary hartley
