From the desk of the Administrator:

The City of Mount Vernon would like to remind residents that the maintenance of roadside ditches located on private property within the city limits is the responsibility of the adjoining property owner. This includes keeping ditches free of debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstructions that may impede drainage.

The City is responsible for maintaining public infrastructure associated with the drainage system, including whistles (drainage pipes) and box culverts. If you notice a damaged, blocked, or malfunctioning whistle or box culvert, please contact City Hall so the issue can be evaluated and addressed.

Proper drainage is important to preventing flooding and protecting both public and private property. We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep Mount Vernon safe and well-maintained.

If you have questions or need to report a drainage infrastructure issue, please contact City Hall at (417) 466-2122.

Thank you for helping keep Mount Vernon a great place to live!
