The
Chisago County Public Works department took advantage of the unusually mild Minnesota December weather to complete a project ahead of schedule. The task involved installing a drain tile and ensuring proper drainage for a natural spring.
The spring on County Road 16 near Taylor Falls, Minn., freezes up during the winter, diverting the natural flow. This causes it to run across the road toward the St. Croix River. Due to the issues caused by ice dams forming, vehicles and plows encounter damage throughout the season. Occasionally, the road needs to be closed for safety purposes.
