Maintenance of arterial drainage and embankment schemes is carried out by the Commissioners of Public Works in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, due regard being had to the financial resources available. The moneys recoverable from Donegal County Council are directly related to the cost of the works carried out by the commissioners.
