Drainage and Water Management
Have a community drainage concern?
Call Citizen’s Energy Group first – online or at (317) 924-3311. They will send out a field investigator to determine what the problem is and who is responsible. For more information on homeowner’s responsibilities, view the Storm Drainage Responsibilities brochure.
The SWCD provides technical assistance for drainage problems on private property which are the landowner’s responsibility. We are also available for consultation on land use planning, streambank erosion and other natural resource problems.
SWCD staff work in the office, remotely, and in the field. Please email marioncountyswcd@iaswcd.org, utilize our ‘Contact’ tab above, or call 317-786-1776 to leave a message with urgent issues. For information about upcoming SWCD Board Meetings, please click here.
