ment that are resistent to flood damage, and (iii) use construction methods and practices that will
minimize flood damage; and

trical, and water systems are located, elevated, and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood
damage, and (iii) adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and
3. That the City Engineer of the City of Alameda shall take all measures necessary to
minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into water supply and/or sanitary sewer systems
