Floodplains in Chandler

Several small areas in Chandler are located in what is commonly referred to as the 100-year floodplain. These areas are generally adjacent to canal banks and railroad track embankments where water ponds can develop during periods of heavy rainfall. To determine whether your property is located in a floodplain, visit the Maricopa County Flood Control District.
