The Wood River Pump Station drains water to prevent flooding, and WRDLD manages the Wood River levee system.

Apparently a Category 4 hurricane is headed toward sunny little Irvine. That's something new and exciting. It's true that I've been desperately pining away for cooler weather since June, but this sure wasn't what I had in mind.
