Golden and Rainbow Fire Protection Water Infrastructure

The Tahoe Main water system in Kings Beach, CA 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. This project installed 7,700 linear feet of new 8-inch watermain in Golden Ave., Rainbow Ave., and upper Secline Street to replace the existing 1- and 2-inch diameter steel watermain that served the properties. Twelve new fire hydrants have been installed that are accessible from the public right of way. The project improved water supply enhancing fire protection capabilities on private, local, state, and federal lands by increasing fire flow volumes and coverage.
