After reading some previous postings about "eliminating" that good ole ditch in the front ... I decided it was about time. I'm tired of the reeds ... and the water and the additional difficulty in mowing ...
I got the permit and, unfortunately, can't use plastic. What I can use is unknown ... I imagine metal culvert or concrete culvert ... but I thought someone might be able to translate for me.
The permit says '12" RCP or CMP. No plastic tile permitted. 1-24" catchbasin and 1 flared end section to be installed with tile. I'm guessing that the CMP is corrugated metal pipe? And the RCP is R??? Concrete Pipe? Catchbasin is a much bigger chunk of pipe? The fared end is the outlet where my property ends (and therefore the ditch begins again?
Anyone that has done this want to decipher for me? Sounds like this could be a lot more expensive that I'd first envisioned since I imagine the catchbasin will add a significant cost?
