SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. As a way to combat wildfire risk, Liberty Utilities has proposed a significant rate increase, but the proposal has created a wildfire of sorts within the community.
Liberty customers recently received a notice in the mail informing them of possible rate increases of about 41%, or $48, in the winter and 42%, or $37, for the summer.
The driving factor of this proposed increase is wildfire.
Dan Marsh, manager, rates and regulatory affairs for Liberty Utilities (California), said the money would be used to harden their systems to reduce wildfire risk, increase vegetation management and cover the cost of wildfire insurance which has increased 10-fold.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. The South Lake Tahoe City Council moved forward with canceling the development agreement with Perfect Union SLT, LLC during its meeting on Tuesday, June 1.
Perfect Union received a cannabis use permit in Nov. 2019 and the council approved a development agreement with them in Feb. 2020. As part of that agreement, Perfect Union SLT was required to be operational within a year of agreement being approved.
The business did not open its doors within a year, which they said was because of delays caused by COVID-19. The planning commission denied an appeal for an extension.
The company was given 30-days to cure the default or at least started the process of curing the default but city attorney Heather Stroud said they failed to do so.
