Tiling Question

Posted by Bob in SD on October 09, 2013 at 06:27:42 from (137.216.208.56):

Hello,

I live on a small parcel surrounded by farmland. They are preparing to tile, and it looks like they want to run pipe across my land to drain a low spot (a couple of acres) on one side of my property. They are also tiling the other side, and even have ditches in the section past that, so it looks like they have a plan for where the water is going to go.

I don"t know the owners, but the renter is a good guy and I don"t want to get in his way, but I really don"t know anything about this and am wondering what are the potential downsides for me.

The field of mine that they would cut through is pretty wet, and I stuck a weeping willow tree out there several years ago (far from the house!). Snow melt currently flows from the renter"s field through my field and tries to wash out the driveway every year, so this might actually help me?

OTOH, I do have some fruit trees nearby, and the willow that mom really likes looking at. Our well is about 300 feet from the wet area, and 130 feet deep. It is the well that folks drove from miles around to get to during the dust bowl, so probably a pretty good well and I"m not sure how much of the surface water would even get down there (it was in an aquifer on the old maps, but when they put a dairy in about 15 miles away 20 or so years ago they needed to show that the dairy didn"t impact aquifer, and this aquifer disappeared when the maps were redrawn. I suspect it"s really still there).

So, what do I need to worry about? Sound like an OK idea, or do I need to be "that guy" that gets in the way of progress?

Thanks,
