What it does

GENERAL. Under Code chapter 468, drainage or levee districts are established and managed by different forms of governing bodies, including a board of supervisors, joint boards of supervisors governing intercounty districts, and an elected board of trustees. A board is required to appoint a civil engineer to establish a district and oversee work projects in the district. A board may order a repair to an improvement (to restore or maintain its capacity) or the construction of an improvement (to expand, enlarge, or otherwise increase its capacity).
