These levees protect residents, property, infrastructure, government facilities, and habitat in the Sacramento metropolitan area. In addition, the District undertakes the operation and maintenance of other levees in the Sacramento metropolitan area under contract with the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency or other public agencies in the region.
