§ 8102 Flood Control Work Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about fixing or working on rivers, streams, or channels that go through more than one county.
  • •It also covers work needed to control floods in a county, even if the river or stream is only in one county.
  • •The work must be reasonable and necessary for flood control.

Example

A river flows through two counties, and it often floods in both places.

This law allows workers to fix the river in both counties to stop the flooding. Even if the river only flows in one county but causes floods, they can still work on it to prevent damage.
