Common use of Outlet Clause in Contracts

Outlet. Outlet has deteriorating, separated culvert walls and headwall. Flow of water is emptied into Lake Ontario. Walls are founded on bedrock. Culvert Condition: - Concrete is unsound, cracked and deteriorating beyond any heavy vehicular traffic load. - Severe cracking in walls and disintegration and lack of foundation supporting culvert walls. - Leaking though WIDE cracks along pour lines of culvert barrel walls Drainage/Flow Condition: - Culvert is substantially blocked with rip rap rock to prevent further erosion of the culvert wall bond. - At time of inspection there was no flow through culvert. Due to the intentional blockage inside of culvert and sluice gates at the inlet end of the culvert, it would appear that neighboring interests prefer the amount of water capacity in the private pond. With this, the culvert appears to have been sized correctly for the nominal capacities.
