Flood Control? In a Desert? Absolutely!

Although the Flood Control District has made great progress over the years, building and operating flood control structures, work remains to be done as the County continues to be one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States. Join our innovative team to create a safer Maricopa County for all of our citizens.
