Response:

​Our Land Development Engineer and I have spoken to Paul Coles by phone this morning, after I called you.

Paul advises that when he had spoken with you back in January, he said they would connect your drainage system (your headwall) into the one they were working on building for the subdivision. However, when they started to do this they found for several reasons that this could not happen. Paul, or perhaps the contractors, spoke with you at that time and explained why they couldn't connect using your headwall, but that they could connect your drainage to theirs a bit further along, which is the way your drainage is now working. Paul confirms that you were made aware of what they planned and you agreed to it. Paul confirmed that the contractor had to make some adjustments to slopes etc to make it work, and also they repaired the fence as you were concerned your sheep might get out. Paul advises us that your drainage system is connected and is working and that the headwall you described to us is actually no longer required. The drainage system on the western boundary of your property is not destroyed.

Our Land Engineer has recently signed off the subdivision, and found no issues regarding drainage.

I trust this gives you the information you are looking for.
Regards
