RECLAMATION DISTRICT No. 1000

Reclamation District No. 1000 has been providing flood protection to the citizens of Natomas for over a century. Formed by an act of the State Legislature in 1911 our mission is to protect the citizens in our District by maintaining the four levees surrounding the Natomas Basin, miles of drainage canals that form our flood infrastructure and provide irrigation to the basin, and maintaining seven pumping plants.

On January 9, 2026, Trustee Ed Perez provided notice of his resignation from the Board of Trustees effective immediately.  

The Board of Trustees intends to place an item to appoint a new Trustee on the agenda for their Special Board Meeting to be held on March 6, 2026 at 8:00 a.m.  Applicants must attend the meeting and be available to speak to their candidacy.  The Board of Trustees intends to elect a new Trustee at that meeting and then notify the County within 15 days of the appointment.

All Trustees of the District act as government officials and must comply with all legal and ethical requirements, including biennial training for ethics, sexual harassment prevention, and financial management.  Trustees are paid a nominal fee for their attendance at meetings.  Board meetings are generally on the second Friday of each month at 8:00 a.m. and all Trustees also sit on various committees that are scheduled as appropriate. 

Please direct any questions to the District Secretary at (916) 922-1449.
