§ 8631 Levee Construction And Maintenance

• •The board can help build, fix, or maintain levees (big walls to stop water) near rivers or streams.
• •They do this if they think the levees aren’t good enough or are needed to stop floods.
• •This is part of their plan to control floods in the area.

A river near a town keeps flooding because the levee is old and broken.

The board can decide to fix or rebuild the levee to stop the river from flooding the town.
