District Facilities |
|
The District operates and maintains major flood control
facilities such as dams, flood basins, levees, open channels
and major underground storm drains. In most cases, the
District does not maintain storm drain inlets or pipes less
than 36 inches in diameter. These inlets and smaller facilities are
typically maintained by city street departments or County Transportation
Department. |
Maintenance and Repair |
|
The Project Maintenance section is charged with the daily maintenance and emergency repair of the District drainage system – a system consisting of over 420 miles of storm drains, open channels & levees along with nearly 40 dams and detention basins. Functions range from vegetation and rodent management, to fencing repairs and graffiti removal. The District's maintenance forces may only perform work on District facilities and within District property. To report a problem please call the District's Maintenance Office at (951) 955-1310 or (951) 955-1558.
Storm drain inlets or catch basins are generally the responsibility of the local transportation authority. Residents of unincorporated county areas should report clogged storm drain inlets or catch basins to the County Transportation Department's Road Maintenance Section (951) 955-6899.
City residents should call their city public works or street maintenance department.
Problems related to grading or diversion of surface flows generally fall under the purview of the appropriate City or County Building and Safety Department.

Encroachment Permits |
|
A District encroachment permit is required to use District
property or to connect to District facilities either
temporarily or permanently. The District's Encroachment
Permit Engineer reviews the proposed uses and inspects the
activity. The application fee for a permit is $500 ($250 for
temporary access) with an additional charge for construction
inspection. Proof of insurance is needed before the activity
may begin. For details or a copy of the permit application
with instructions please call the District's Encroachment
Permit Engineer at (951) 955-1266. For more information visit
our Encroachment Permits
page. |
Construction Projects |
| The engineering design of all
projects constructed by the District is performed
by, or under the direct supervision of, one of the
District's two design teams. They are responsible
for coordinating all activities involved in moving
projects forward from the conceptual planning phase
to the actual start of construction. |
| The construction section
administers all District construction contracts and
inspects the construction of all flood control
projects to be accepted for operation and
maintenance by the District. |
| For information about projects
under design, construction projects currently being
advertised or to order copies of our standard
drawings (design manual) please call the District's
front desk at (951) 955-1200. Also, check the
Project Bid page for projects up for bids. |
