Almost every watershed in Contra Costa County has been identified with a number. We call these
Drainage Areas. Drainage Areas are formed to collect fees from developers to pay for planned drainage infrastructure including detention basins, pipes, channels, and related costs. An unformed drainage area is a watershed that has been identified, but does not have development fees.
