VCWPD operates and maintains flood control facilities that have been constructed by the District, or by others and transferred to the District. Routine maintenance is conducted periodically on all District facilities to ensure proper operations. Maintenance typically involves removal of sediment and vegetation to restore the original design conveyance or flow capacity of flood control channels or the storage capacity of flood or debris basins. The District maintains 40 dams or debris basins strategically placed to capture or remove sediment from channels that have the potential to cause downstream flooding of residential or commercial areas. Additional (non-scheduled) storm-related maintenance is conducted on an as-needed basis, usually during emergency conditions, to protect life and property.
