About the District

The Alameda County Public Works Agency is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of Alameda County — from its roads and bridges to flood channels and natural creeks.

Within the Public Works Agency, the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District works specifically to protect county citizens from flooding.

The Flood Control District:

• plans, designs and inspects construction of flood control projects,
• maintains flood control infrastructure,
• assists in planning new developments to preserve the integrity of the flood control system, and,
• preserves the natural environment through public outreach and enforcement of pollution control regulations governing our waterways
