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.
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.
