Our levees meet the federal requirement for 100-year flood protection. Our plan is to provide 200-year flood protection.

Willow Lake Blue Green Algae
Reclamation District 800 is participating in a HAB (Harmful Algal Bloom) study that will take place in Willow Lake beginning in Mid-May through August. The purpose of this study is to try to reduce the level of cyanobacteria aka blue green algae in the Willow Lake, keeping the bacteria under advisory levels. The water in Willow Lake will be held during this period of time approximately one foot below normal full range. We will run the aerator’s 12 hours a day as usual during the summer months. There are no restrictions on recreational use during this time.
If you have any questions, please call the District office at (925) 634-2351. We have an informational packet available in the office and online at RD800.org.
