City Hall warns against obstruction of drainage channels on roads during rainy season

The City Hall of Ibiúna warns the population about the risks of closing drainage channels and obstructing water flow points on the municipality's roads. During work to resolve waterlogging points, teams have identified situations in which interventions impede the natural flow of water, contributing to flooding, erosion, and damage to roads. Drainage channels are openings that allow rainwater to be directed off the road, preventing accumulation on the roadway and compromising its structure. When these points are closed, water can become dammed, hindering circulation and causing disruptions for residents, especially in rural areas. The Secretary of Urban Development, Irineu Júnior, emphasizes that the population's collaboration is essential to prevent these problems. "Closing a drainage channel may seem like a simple solution, but this action can worsen problems during rains, causing flooding and damaging roads. Water needs a way to flow. Therefore, we ask that the population not impede this flow and seek guidance from the City Hall before carrying out any intervention," he warns. Article 1,288 of the Civil Code establishes rules for the natural flow of water between properties, prohibiting interventions that impede this flow under the conditions provided by law. The City Hall advises residents not to close drainage channels or obstruct ditches and water outlets. Awareness and respect for drainage are essential to reduce flooding, preserve roads, and ensure greater safety for the population during the rainy season.
