Near-north Ontario, French River | All our outlets our from mains, connected to laterals in the fields. Here the extra cost of the main is partially offset by future savings in drain ( ditch) maintenance. Not sure how things work where others are but here the municipality covers the cost of MOST drainage ditch maintenance then recoups the cost from all land owners that use the drain over a number of years. Thing to remember is that the land owner only pays for the portion of the drain he/uses so the guy at the top end of the drain will pay a larger bill as he's using the entire length of the drain, the guy closest to the drains outlet will have minimal expense. You want to get your tile main outlet as far 'down stream' as is economically/practically possible to help eliminate future maintenance expenses.

Would drainage tile work in Alberta?
