Purpose: Maintain the integrity of the levee system to protect the Island from floods and other high water events. Prepare for and coordinate emergency response efforts in flood situations in cooperation with other agencies and the community. Maintain a series of ditches and pumps for adequate drainage and irrigation needs. Coordinate with landowners and other agencies for water usage, bank stability, and other issues. Sustain a strong and valuable partnership with landowners, community businesses, and other agencies. Protecting Sauvie Island is our main focus, but it takes an entire community to get the job done right. Helping maintain the levee and ditches from brush, trees, and other obstacles is perhaps the biggest help to us all. If you would like to help in other ways, please give us a call, we always need an extra hand!
