Douglas County commissioners on Thursday held public hearings on two water projects at Lake Tahoe.
A hearing required for $16.5 million in bonding to complete work on the Cave Rock Water System attracted little comment.
Funding for water system improvements will be raised through the state’s revolving fund program and repaid by water rate revenues raised from water users.
Financing was approved by the state board on Wednesday and previously approved by the Debt Management Commission, County Chief Financial Officer Terry Willoughby said.
The water system has been controversial since it was acquired in the early 1990s after increased federal regulation required treatment of lake water.
