Drain Commissioner
The office of the Drain Commissioner is established by State Law. These laws allow the Drain Commissioner to design and maintain drainage systems for large areas of land. We do this because the flooding of fields, yards, roads and homes can be very serious and at times even life threatening.
The Drain Commission is responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of hundreds of miles of drains in Midland County (excluding the City of Midland). We spend approximately $500,000 annually on Drain construction and maintenance. Our staff of three works closely with the Road Commission, landowners, developers, and neighboring counties to ensure cost effective drainage.
