Zone 9
As our flood control infrastructure continues to age, current funding levels are not keeping pace with inflation, increased maintenance costs, and growing climate impacts. The District is committed to using the funds available to maintain the existing infrastructure, respond to critical and emergency repairs, continue to pursue state or federal grants, and work to protect the County from flooding with limited resources.

RECENT PROJECTS
Pump Station Repairs
Pump stations help minimize flooding by pumping water from underground pipes to a higher level, so the water can then flow by gravity into the San Francisco Bay.
The District routinely makes critical repairs to its pump stations. However, much of the equipment is very old and near the end of its service life. While each repair may seem small, identifying possible problems and upgrading infrastructure is crucial to protect Alameda County from flooding.
In 2019, the Flood Control District completed a full assessment of the condition of its older pump stations, four of which are in zone 9. If funding becomes available through the proposed benefit assessment increase, the District can repair, upgrade, or replace old and under-capacity pump engines, pipes, and other equipment.
Pump Station H Generator Replacement
In 2024, District Engineers replaced a generator at H Pump Station to ensure increased reliability during power outages. When the District is next hit by a powerful storm, residents can be assured they will be protected from flooding pumps while the pumps maintain uninterrupted service.
