A. The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this Part is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on accepted engineering methods of study. Larger floods may occur or flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Part does not imply that areas outside any identified floodplain areas or that land uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages.
B. This Part shall not create liability on the part of the City of Reading or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Part or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
