SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. Wells shut down because of uranium contamination should be back online by watering season, according to the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association.
Two of three wells in the Tahoe Keys were taken offline after trace amounts of uranium were found in December 2020.
The wells that were impacted are primarily used for lawn irrigation so drinking water was not impacted.
Still homeowners expressed concern about property values if they weren’t able to water their lawns this summer.
In response, the Tahoe Keys Water Company formed the Water Quality Long Range Planning Committee made up of several homeowners.
