of Bethel Island by
responding to the
needs and concerns
of the public by allocating
the available resources

system, by maintaining a free flowing

PLEASE KEEP YOUR LEVEE CLEAN
AND FREE OF WEEDS
Please help minimize the need for spraying by properly maintaining the vegetation along the water front of your property. No spray will be applied to those properties where property owners have maintained the levee top and water side vegetations.

| The
Bethel Island Municipal
Improvement District
(BIMID) was formed
in the early 1960's
by the California
State Legislature. The
Island is not a city
and thus has to rely
on a combination of
private and county
public services.
BIMID is a special act
district that has powers
similar to a city.
BIMID currently provides
levee maintenance and
repairs, habitat mitigation,
park services, as well
as storm drain maintenance
and repair. |
