The Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District
NEEDS YOUR HELP

Bethel Island is surrounded by eleven miles of levee that keep the Delta waters out of the interior of the island.  Everyone living behind a levee has a responsibility to help maintain the integrity of the levee.  Some activities must be restricted to prevent levee failure or interference with the island drainage system.  BIMID has adopted ordinances to guide residents’ selection of appropriate activity. 

Levees are engineered to withstand water pressure.  Any modification to a levee can weaken that critical ability.  BIMID personnel who patrol the levee and are charged with maintaining the levee must be able to see the entire slope of the levee, both on the water side and the land side, particularly with respect to water seepage and rodent damage. 

Some vegetation, other than grass, can be a problem.  Tree roots can be a perfect conduit for water traveling through the fragile levee.  Also, dumping of grass clipping, other vegetation and junk into the island drainage ditches restricts water flow and can cause flooding. 

  • Emergency Evacuation Signs:  In the unlikely event of an emergency there are a total of 13 rally points that currently all have EVACUATION ROUTE SIGNS in place at the street entrance to the following marinas: San joaquin YC, Mariner Cove Marina, Caliente Harbor, Anchor Marina, D'Anna Yacht Center, Emerald pointe Marina, Frank's Marina, Lundborg Landing, Sugar Barge Marina, Russo's Marina, Beacon Harbor, Bethel Harbor and Willowest Harbor. The community thanks these businesses for there cooperation! Emergency planning will remain a high priority for our community, if you would like to volunteer to assist the community during an emregency please call the BIMID office (925) 684-2210 and leave your name, address and phone number, you will be contacted.
