§ 8151 Drainage Improvement Transfer Date

Key Takeaways

  • •The 'date of transfer' is when a flood control district officially accepts a drainage project from a county.
  • •It can also be the date when a city officially gives a drainage project to the flood control district.
  • •This date is decided by a vote or official decision from the leaders of the county, city, or flood control district.

Example

A county builds a new drain to stop flooding and wants to give it to the flood control district to manage.

The 'date of transfer' is the day the flood control district's leaders vote and say, 'Yes, we’ll take it.' That’s the official day the drain becomes their job to look after.
