On March 27, 2021, South Lake Tahoe lost a devoted advocate for safe, clean drinking water and reliable wastewater services. Mary Lou Mosbacher (92), lovingly referred to as the Grandmother of the District, served on South Tahoe Public Utility District’s Board of Directors for 21 years (1990-2011).
During her tenure on the Board, Director Mosbacher was instrumental in the implementation of legislation in support of the use of recycled water in the event of a catastrophic fire along the Grass Lake corridor surrounding the Luther Pass Pump Station. She even had a purple fire hydrant installed on her lawn in commemoration that is still in use today.
