Upgrade Priority Water Infrastructure to Fight Catastrophic Wildfire
North Tahoe Public Utility District owns the Tahoe Main water system that serves the Kings Beach residential grid neighborhood. The water system is comprised of watermains ranging from 1- to 8- inches in diameter. The system is deficient in fire flows and in the number and spacing of fire hydrants and does not meet current fire codes on several streets in the grid. The project would install 2,650 linear feet of new 8-inch watermain on Brook, Salmon, Yacht, and Dip streets to replace the existing 1- and 2-inch diameter steel watermain that serves the properties. Five (5) new fire hydrants would be installed that would be accessible from the public right of way.
