The Foster City Levee, owned and maintained by the City, surrounds the majority of the outer bay-front perimeter of the City to provide flood protection. In February 2024, the City completed its Levee Improvements Project, which increased the height and width of the levee to ensure continued protection against storm/tide surges, maintain FEMA accreditation, and provide resilience for future sea level rise projections to year 2100. Design for the project was completed by Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers. Construction was complete by Shimmick Construction.
