§ 8126 Stream Improvement Authority

• •The local government can fix small rivers or streams that cause problems for roads.
• •They can make the streams wider, deeper, or straighter to stop flooding.
• •They can also protect the land next to the streams from flooding.

A small stream near a road keeps flooding and washing out the road every time it rains a lot.

The local government can decide to make the stream wider or deeper so it doesn’t flood the road anymore.
