"It could be either. Whoever owns the land where the watercourse is situated within the boundaries."

"It all depends if it’s in the boundaries of your property you are responsible to make sure it is clear and running or if you want to fill it in you need to provide alternative methods for the Water to go such as Building a Culvert
