Service Districts: Dam Renovation Projects

Overview
In 2017, the Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance to establish the Lake Arrowhead Service District in the Rock Hill Election District and the Lake Carroll Service District in the George Washington District. These service districts were established to provide timely, necessary repairs to the dams located within each district.
