RD 2140’S Role as Sponsor for Levee Operations and Maintenance
As the required, non-Federal sponsor, RD 2140 funds the yearly cost to own, operate, and maintain the new Hamilton City Levee. In 2016, Hamilton City property owners supported a ballot measure to add a fee to annual property taxes to fund the Reclamation District. All property owners in and around Hamilton City who benefit from the new levee are responsible for contributing to the funding necessary to operate and maintain the levee.
