Water Resources

Protect the public from the harmful effects of regional flooding.

Age of the Flood Control District infrastructure is the primary factor affecting the condition of flood control facilities.
Increasing environmental regulations increase maintenance costs, and limit the scope of maintenance activities.
Infrastructure components are becoming increasingly complex which increases maintenance costs.
In order to keep flood control facilities in good operating condition, a programmatic repair and/or replacement effort may be warranted.

Enhance horizontal infrastructure planning and project management.
Revise and update short- and long-term sediment management plans.
Invest in and adopt watershed approach to public outreach efforts.
Investigate the need to transition to a more specialized workforce; investigate enhanced training for FMD employees.
Conduct System Optimization studies.

We provide sustainable water supplies and healthy watersheds while reducing flood risk for our communities.
