Reclamation District 800

Reclamation District 800, located in Walnut Grove, California, is a unique and essential organization responsible for the operation and maintenance of nearly 19 miles of levees safeguarding 7,000 acres of agricultural, urban, commercial, and industrial land in Byron Tract. With over a century of experience, the district is committed to maintaining and improving their levee system to meet federal requirements for 100-year flood protection and aims to provide 200-year flood protection. They also prioritize emergency preparedness and offer resources to help residents living on or near levees be ready for potential disasters.

One of the notable features of Reclamation District 800 is the picturesque Discovery Bay, the first Delta community to have a lighthouse. The district's dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the area is evident through their annual Willow Lake lowering, allowing individual owners to maintain their bulkheads, beaches, and remove aquatic weeds. Additionally, they offer free rock rip rap to eligible residents for the slopes at the rear of their properties, further enhancing the community's resilience and protection against water-related challenges.
