Identify the Drainage Request Before Culvert Work in Lafayette

Distinguish the two routes named on the drainage page

Lafayette Consolidated Government’s drainage-maintenance page lists blockage clearing and crossdrain-failure repair, with a service-request link. It separately identifies a culvert-permit request route. City resource.

Those named routes do not establish who maintains a particular feature or which process applies to your proposed work. Staff need the actual location and issue to address that question.

Describe the existing condition beside the proposed change

For the existing condition, identify the location and the crossing or drainage feature you mean. Describe what can be observed from an accessible position, including what is uncertain. If a request already exists, keep its reference attached to that existing-condition question rather than present it as approval of a different project.

Then label any proposed culvert change as an idea still needing discussion. Explain whether you want the existing problem considered or are asking about a changed crossing, and ask staff how those questions should be routed. Leave pipe dimensions, clearing techniques and a design solution out of the description unless they belong to an actual proposal being separately reviewed.
