§ 22185 District Recreational Facilities

Key Takeaways

  • •Water districts can build fun places like parks near dams or lakes they own.
  • •They can also take care of these places and keep them running.
  • •This is only for areas where the district controls the water or dams.

Example

A town has a big lake owned by the local water district. The district decides to build a picnic area and a small playground next to the lake.

The water district is allowed to do this because they own the lake, and the law says they can add fun spots like parks for people to enjoy.
