Public Records Requests:
The District is required by law to respond to public records requests in writing within 10 days of receipt of the request. This doesn't mean that the records must be ready within 10 days, but rather that the district sends a letter/e-mail informing the person requesting the documents that the District has records and when they will be available for inspection.

In accordance to the State of California, the flood season is considered to be November 1st-April 15th Permitting the future weather conditions, another request may be sent to you requesting additional time for the gates to be left unlocked and open.
Leaving your gates unlocked and open will ensure that the District and Emergency personnel can get through in the event of an emergency.
