Local Flood Risk

As the Ditch Authority since 1959, Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD) maintains a 135-mile ditch system through central Anoka County to balance drainage and flooding with the goal of protecting property, public safety, and infrastructure. Coon Creek Staff keep a close eye on the weather forecast and the local landscape in order to stay ahead of any potential flood risks. CCWD coordinates with Public Works Staff at our partnering cities to facilitate a unified approach to flood risk management.

The spring flood threat remains below normal due to an overall lack of snow and dry soil conditions. Future precipitation in the form of snow or rain will be the main factor impacting spring flood risk.
