The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $4,310,538 Project Grant under the Lake Tahoe Erosion Control Grant Program (CFDA 10.690) to the South Tahoe Public Utility District to improve water infrastructure for fire suppression in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The grant funds the installation of 2,213 linear feet of new 8-inch water mains and 4 fire hydrants to increase fire flow capacity by up to 35% and improve water pressure for customers in the Brockway area. A subaward of the grant to the North Tahoe Public Utility District will contribute to coordinated fire suppression infrastructure upgrades in the region. The project aims to enhance water system resilience and support rural fire prevention and control efforts in the Lake Tahoe area.
