Recent rains have damaged parts of the Marsh Creek levee north of E. Cypress Road in Oakley. On Wednesday afternoon Reclamation District 2137 began repairs on the levee. Repair work will continue for the next several days.
California Reclamation Districts are legal subdivisions within California’s Central Valley that are responsible for managing and maintaining the levees, fresh water channels, or sloughs (pronounced slü), canals, pumps, and other flood protection structures in the area.
