Staff Report
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The South Tahoe Public Utility District will be flushing water mains in the Tahoe Sierra neighborhood between Monday, July 26 and Friday, Aug. 6.
The district recommends residents not use water while the District is flushing the waterline on their street, as the water may be cloudy or discolored. district staff will distribute door hangers one to two business days before the work is planned and will knock on doors the day the work will occur.
“Flushing water mains helps ensure we are providing high quality drinking water to our customers,” said Chris Stanley, manager of field operations in a press release. “Flushing lines increases water pressure, which can cause leaks to spring up. Please give us a call if you see any water running down the street.”
