The Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID) is a special act district in Pittsburg, CA, formed in the early 1960s by the California State Legislature. It serves the people of Bethel Island by maintaining a safe and secure levee system, a free-flowing drainage system, and a park and recreation facility. BIMID provides services such as levee maintenance and repairs, habitat mitigation, park services, and storm drain maintenance and repair.
Bethel Island, located in Contra Costa County, is an island below sea level surrounded by 11.5 miles of earthen levee. Access to the island is by boat or the new bridge on the south side that connects Bethel Island Road to Cypress Road to Highway 4 in Oakley. BIMID's main function is to improve and maintain the levee system and ensure proper drainage. Funding for the district comes from ad valorem tax collected by the county, which is used to compete for state funding from the Department of Water Resources.
