To increase the amount that a county drain commission can assess a drainage district for drain maintenance and repair from $5,000 per mile of drain to $10,000 per mile, or more than that with the approval of the county board. “Drain” refers to the interconnected system of man-made ditches that was created in the 19th and early 20th century to convert much of Michigan from swampland unsuitable for agriculture into arable cropland.
