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 smaller facilities are typically maintained by City or County Transportation Department crews.

City residents should report clogged storm drain inlets or catch basins to their city public works or road maintenance department.

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.
