To All Landowners
along Williams County Permanent Maintenance Projects:
Under the direction of the Williams County Commissioners, per
the Ohio Revised Code 6137, The Williams County Drainage Department will
be conducting the 2018 annual inspections and/or maintenance activities
on all Permanent Maintenance Ditches/Tiles. It should be noted that
these inspections are performed on the maintenance ditches/or tiles each
year. Maintenance will be performed as required by findings during
the annual inspections and as approved by the Williams County
Commissioners. In order to help keep maintenance costs as low as
possible, please refrain from placing any type of restrictions or crops
within the maintenance easement area. Due to the large volume of
parcels located along the permanent maintenance structures, we will not
call each individual property owner prior to inspections and maintenance
activities. If you have any questions please call Todd Roth, P.E.,
P.S., Williams County Engineer, or Brian Fritsch, P.E., Drainage
Engineer at 636-2454, Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Email:
bfritsch@wmscoengineer.com.

January, 2005. He is a graduate of The Ohio State University, with a Bachelor of
Science Degree in Agricultural Engineering, and has worked
