Contra Costa County Flood Control District

08/20/2026

Last month, on July 19, 2026, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FCD) turned 75, an achievement backed by decades of smart planning, building resilient infrastructure, and stewardship. Established in response to widespread flooding in Contra Costa County that impacted housing, industry, and agriculture, the FCD has evolved from humble beginnings to a leader in flood management, community preparedness, and watershed sustainability.

What can you do?

Prioritize using reusable bags when going to the grocery store or when packing for that picnic or day trip. Plastic bags can easily float away in the wind and enter our waterways where they slowly break down into harmful microplastics.
