I have a drainage easement on my property. What can I build on this easement?
Drainage easements must be kept clear of all obstacles in order to properly carry the run-off from storms. Structures, fences, bushes, shrubs, new trees, and playground equipment such as swing sets and similar items that would impede the flow of water or trap debris must not be placed in a drainage easement.
