§ 8632 Levee Insufficiency Notice Requirement

Key Takeaways

  • •If the people in charge think a levee isn't strong enough or isn't there when it should be to stop floods, they have to let everyone know.
  • •They do this by putting out a public notice so people are aware.

Example

Imagine a river near a town has a small wall (levee) to stop floodwater. After heavy rain, the wall looks weak and might break.

The board in charge checks the wall and thinks it’s not strong enough to hold back the water. They must tell everyone in the town by posting a notice, so people can be careful or fix the wall.
