Who actually owns the ditch?
Nearly all of the system conduits are State-owned, either because they are on large parcels of State land or because the State owns a 15-foot wide right of way through private land. Because it is State land, you need to allow passage of the Cooperative’s managers and work crews, and to not obstruct the right-of-way. In addition, there are a few easements allowing access between the ends of tunnels which pass under private property.
