Revisions to COVID operations and guidelines for participants, including requiring masks, reducing program enrollment numbers, or cancellations, may be made at any time due to public health consideration.
STAY HEALTHY! FACE COVERINGS ARE ENCOURAGED FOR ALL PARTCIPANTS Per current CDC, State and County guidelines, face coverings are required of all program participants ages 2 and older while indoors, but remains optional for outdoor programs and activities.

West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant
TCPUD at Your Service West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant After several years of planning and design, the TCPUD awarded a construction contract to Thompson Builders Corporation in May 2021 for construction of the West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant Project. The new water treatment plant will be located at 275 Lodge Drive in Tahoma. The water treatment plant will provide a year-round, drought-resistant drinking water source for the McKinney-Quail Water Service Area, replacing an existing temporary, seasonal treatment facility. The water treatment plant will have the capacity to provide water to other water systems along Lake Tahoe’s west shore, resulting in a coordinated regional solution for drinking water and fire protection. Visit tcpud.org/watertreatmentplant to track the progress of this project.
North Lake Tahoe Active Recreation Facility Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study In the summer of 2020, TCPUD partnered with the North Tahoe Public Utility District to launch a community-wide effort to assess the needs and desires for the future of active recreation in North Lake Tahoe. Over 600 community members participated in the assessment expressing a resounding appreciation for the active recreation activities and programs currently offered. The community feedback demonstrated a strong interest in building a recreation center and indoor swimming pool. Additional priorities included maintenance and upgrades to existing sports fields and courts, a new skate park, and a new covered ice rink. Phase 2 of this project is now underway. A multi-faceted technical consultant team led by Design Workshop will assess existing facilities and examine potential sites for new facilities. The analysis will also evaluate conceptual operating models and costs, existing and future use patterns, revenue streams and funding mechanisms in order to understand the feasibility of constructing new and/or improved recreational facilities. Your participation in this exciting project is encouraged as the process moves forward. Visit northlaketahoeactiverecreation.org for more information.

DISTRICT NEWS Water Conservation Every Drop Counts. Use Water Wisely. The TCPUD is committed to Making Water Conservation a Regular Way of Life and have responded to California’s severe drought conditions and the increasing demand on TCPUD’s water supply. As of September 1, 2021, all TCPUD water service areas entered TCPUD’s Drought Response Stage 2, which require customer water conservation measures, including a mandatory 15% reduction in water use as compared to 2020. Implementing water conservation measures is an environmentally sound way to protect and conserve our water resources and ensure the continued supply and reliability of drinking water as well as providing water capacity for firefighting efforts. Visit tcpud.org/conservation for more information on TCPUD water conservation measures.
Tahoe XC Lodge The TCPUD has a long partnership with the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Education Association (TCCSEA), who has run the Tahoe XC Center for over 20 years. The recreation amenities provided by the TCCSEA to the community and our local youth athletes are invaluable. In 2015, the TCCSEA accepted the donation of a historic residence, the Schilling House, and embarked on a robust and comprehensive effort to relocate and replace the existing lodge facility with a new and improved Tahoe XC Lodge. The plan to rebuild the Tahoe XC Lodge on a new site next to the North Tahoe High School is entering the final design and permitting stage, with a 2-year construction schedule planned to begin in 2023. The new Tahoe XC Lodge will be designed and operated in a way that minimizes its impacts on neighbors. The Project will provide many community benefits, including: Improved experience of winter skiing and summer hiking and biking activities. Quality amenities for guests, including: a larger lounge, rental shop, retail store, café, first aid room, and space for student athletes. Inviting indoor and outdoor community space. Improved traffic flow and parking. The existing trail system and adjacent trails on state property will be more easily accessible from the new facility.

MULTI-USE TRAILS
MULTI-USE TRAIL SYSTEM The perfect way to enjoy the Tahoe seasons and tour the North and West Shore of Lake Tahoe is by using our 23-mile multi-use trail network. Our recreational trails are open to bicyclists, e-bikes, walkers, joggers, strollers, and even anglers enjoying the views. Please leash your dogs, keep an eye out for maintenance workers & equipment, and be respectful of other users.
During winter, the TCPUD parks crew will keep portions of the trail clear, from Dollar Hill down the West Shore to Timberland, and the Truckee River Trail to the Squaw Valley intersection conditions permitting. Be sure to watch for icy patches during the winter months. To learn the specific location of the cleared winter trails, visit the following updated trail map from the Lake Tahoe Bike Coalition by visiting map.tahoebike.org. Enjoy the trails!
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! The TCPUD’s Multi-Use Trail is a valuable recreation and transportation amenity that connects residents and visitors to the things they love to do around Lake Tahoe. Our goal of making continuous enhancements to the Trail System begins with a 3-minute survey to identify improvement opportunities. You can take the survey at any time by visiting tcpud.org/trails or simply scan the QR code on any one of our Multi-Use Trail signs located throughout the Trail System. Thank you for sharing your experience! TCPUD| 24

In the early 1960s the community requested that TCPUD begin a parks and recreation program and these services have been provided for the past 55 plus years with the goal to enhance quality of life. The boundaries of the District lie within both Placer and El Dorado Counties, extending from Emerald Bay to Dollar Hill, and along the Truckee River to the Nevada County line. The TCPUD service area encompasses more than 31 square miles of the Tahoe Community and we are proud to serve YOU as parks and recreation certainly makes life better!
