An inch of floodwater in your house will cost you at least $10,819 in damages. And that’s assuming your house is just 1,000 square feet or roughly a third of the size of most homes in parts of Lathrop, Manteca, and the Weston Ranch area of Stockton that the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency (SJAFCA) is seeking to protect with $473 million in levee improvements.
