in effect15.64.210 - Liability limitation.
The degree of flood protection intended to be provided by this chapter 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 manmade or natural causes, such as bridge openings restricted by debris. This chapter does not imply that areas outside floodplain zoning district boundaries or land uses permitted within such district will always be totally free from flooding or flood damages. Nor shall this chapter create a liability on the part of, or a cause of action against the metropolitan government or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that may result from implementation of this chapter.
