The Highway Department installs and maintains driveway pipes. In order to have a driveway pipe installed, you will need to obtain a driveway permit. Please contact our office to obtain the permit. The fee is $25.00. The permittee must purchase the pipe and make arrangements to have it delivered to the driveway site. Once the pipe is delivered, the Highway Department will make the necessary arrangements to install it. These arrangements include contacting Dig Safely New York to make certain there are no underground cables at the dig site. Once we receive clearance, we can safely install the pipe.
