Each

to include and govern its area of jurisdiction (A.R.S.
§ 48-3602). A district is required to certify to a county board of

taxable property within the district as the county BOS considers necessary or
appropriate to pay the expenses of administering the district and maintaining
the district's flood control system (A.R.S.
§ 48-3620). A district may cooperate with various governmental entities,
including political or municipal subdivisions, in the construction, maintenance
and operation of flood control projects (A.R.S.
§ 48-3624).
The Maricopa County District has partnered with the City of Peoria to complete drainage improvement projects along 67th Avenue, which is an arterial street in the City of Peoria. 67th Avenue widening projects will occur after drainage improvement projects are completed.
