Flood Mitigation Efforts
On September 14, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that its regional office, DWR 3, conducted an on-site inspection and deployment of a 30-inch water pump in the Old Chan community. This action is part of a proactive initiative to ensure readiness for potential flooding in the area.
Impact for Residents and Travelers
For those living in or visiting the Old Chan community, this deployment indicates that local authorities are actively monitoring water levels and preparing for seasonal weather risks. While the presence of this equipment is a precautionary measure, residents should remain alert to local weather forecasts and official announcements from the DWR.
