If you live in Bossier and are about to make some macaroni and cheese on the stove - stop!
Due to some much needed fire hydrant repairs in the area, workers have had to turn the water on and off again in some key neighborhoods. Whenever that happens, there is a slight danger of contamination in the water lines that feed the hydrant system and your houses faucets.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Back in the 1940s, before South Tahoe Public Utility
District existed, sewage flowed directly into beautiful Lake Tahoe. Citizens rallied to sign a petition to form the District and this year marks our 70th anniversary. From a single septic field to an award-winning 7.7 million gallon per day wastewater treatment facility, with 100% recycled water and biosolids, a lot
has changed over the years.
While 2020 has been a challenging year, the District made great strides in protecting our community from wildfire and improving the reliability, effectiveness, and efficiency of our system.
