§ 26-199. Degree of flood protection.

The degree of flood protection intended to be provided by this article is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes, and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as bridge openings restricted by debris. This article does not imply that areas outside the 500-year floodplain or land uses permitted within such areas will always be totally free from flooding or flood damages. Nor shall this article create a liability on the part of, or a cause of action against the county or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that may result from implementation of this article.
