Under Ohio Revised Code, Swancreek Township is authorized to maintain drainage related to water runoff from township-maintained roads. Our Maintenance Department works diligently to:

• Clear and maintain roadside ditches
• Service drainage tiles and catch basins
• Ensure proper water flow along public right-of-way

For drainage requests related to Township roads, please use the forms below.

Swancreek Township will only replace mailboxes that are physically struck by a snowplow vehicle during snow removal. Damage caused by snow accumulation or forceful snow discharge does not qualify for replacement.

Every public road has a designated right-of-way (ROW), typically ranging from 40 to 60 feet wide. This ROW is owned by the road’s maintaining entity (Township or County) and allows:

• Access for drainage work
• Placement of utility lines and infrastructure

For driveway or drainage work within a right-of-way, please refer to the permits and forms below.
