Prevent Flooding
As the Ditch Authority since 1959, we maintain a 135-mile ditch system to balance drainage and flooding to protect properties. Scroll down to find out more by clicking on the sections!

Note: We’ve prevented significant or unanticipated flood damages in the CCWD due to effective planning, monitoring, maintenance, collaboration, and communication with our partners.
We also do customized floodplain modelling for our cities and have a permitting program so construction projects don’t inadvertently flood properties now or in future.
