Marin County Flood Control District Proposes Dissolving Inverness Zone 10; Public Hearing Set for June 4

San Rafael, CA – The Marin County Flood Control & Water Conservation District is considering a proposal to dissolve Zone 10, an area that represents the coastal community of Inverness. This move could impact how flood control and water conservation efforts are managed in the West Marin community.

The Flood Control District has scheduled a public hearing on the proposal for June 4 at 10:30 a.m. The hearing will take place at the iconic Marin County Civic Center, located at 3501 Civic Center Drive in San Rafael. Residents and other interested parties are encouraged to attend and provide their input.

Zone 10 was originally established in 1961 with the purpose of addressing drainage issues specific to Inverness. However, according to the Flood Control District, the zone has been inactive for many years and currently possesses no revenue. The District has determined that Zone 10 is no longer necessary for its original purpose and that its dissolution would not negatively impact current flood control or water conservation efforts within the Inverness area.

This public hearing offers a crucial opportunity for community members to voice their perspectives on the proposed dissolution. For those seeking more information prior to the hearing, staff at the Marin County Department of Public Works can be reached by calling (415) 473-6528.
