Ditches

County ditches are regulated by the Ditch Authority, which is composed of the County Board of Commissioners. The Ditch Authority is responsible to maintain or improve the county drainage system as needed. 

A McLeod County Ditch Map  has been developed to show the location of all county and judicial ditches. Drainage law governing the county ditch system is provided by Minnesota Rules Chapter 103E.

If you have questions regarding a County Ditch, the McLeod County Ditch & Drainage Inspector and the Ditch Committee members are listed below.
