Our new CivicRec registration platform allows customers greater access to our recreation activities, leagues, Winter Sports Park reservations, and facility rentals. This transition represents our commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience and providing our community with efficient and user-friendly registration services.

Key features and benefits of the new recreation registration software include: Simplified Registration Process: CivicRec offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easier than ever for participants to register for their desired programs and activities. With streamlined steps and enhanced search capabilities, users can quickly find and enroll in the programs that best suit their interests.

Mobile-Friendly Experience: Participants can conveniently access the registration platform from their smartphones or tablets, ensuring a seamless experience on the go.

Enhanced Program Management: CivicRec provides robust program management features that empower TCPUD Parks & Recreation to efficiently organize and administer recreational activities & facility rentals.

We encourage all to preview our new system and create new accounts during the month of October before our Winter Programs and Winter Sports Park Reservations/Season Passes opens for registration on Thursday, November 2nd at noon.

DISTRICT NEWS

Water Infrastructure for Fire Suppression

The Tahoe Water for Fire Suppression Partnership (Partnership) is a collaborative effort of Lake Tahoe Basin water agencies, including the TCPUD, that was formed following the 2007 Angora Fire. This devastating incident highlighted the significant shortcomings of water distribution systems to adequately supply water for firefighting throughout Lake Tahoe communities. The Partnership's primary objective is to speed up the installation of resilient water infrastructure that is crucial to improve the fire suppression capacity needed to protect communities from wildfires.

Annual Tahoe Summit, August 2023

Although the Partnership has increased investments in water infrastructure, a large portion of the Basin is still served by aged and undersized water systems that do not meet modern firefighting standards. Projects TCPUD is implementing to improve fire suppression in our communities include the Dardanelles Avenue Water Line Replacement on the north shore, the West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant, and the Meeks Bay Pressure Reducing Valve. Partnership efforts represent important advocacy work to inform representatives of the vital role water infrastructure plays in protecting communities from wildfire.

These efforts include: Traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with federal delegation, APRIL executive members of the Forest Service and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), and policy advisors.

AUGUST

JULY

Furthered education on water infrastructure for fire suppression at the 27th Annual Lake Tahoe Summit and hosted a pre-Summit Tour for legislative staff.

Hosted Congressman Kevin Kiley on a Tahoe tour, in part to highlight the funding challenges with water infrastructure for fire suppression projects.

2023

Visited the State Capital throughout 2023 to meet with legislators.

To learn more about the Partnership, visit www.tahoewaterforfire.org.

Protecting Communities from Wildfire With wildfires increasing in frequency and intensity, protecting our communities has become more important than ever. Recently, the TCPUD received an award from the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) for ongoing initiative and action to promote awareness of water infrastructure's important role in fire suppression. During the CSDA's Annual Conference held in Monterey, CA, August 28 - 31, the 2023 CSDA Exceptional Outreach and Advocacy Award (Large District Category) was awarded to the TCPUD. This award recognizes the measurable success achieved by TCPUD and their partners, North Tahoe Public Utility District (NTPUD) and the South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD, all members of the Tahoe Water for Fire Suppression Partnership (Partnership).

In 2019, the Partnership focused on connecting with state and federal legislators to garner support for specific funding for water infrastructure for fire suppression projects, which include critical projects such as upsizing waterlines, installing additional fire hydrants, and increasing the capacity of water storage tanks to meet modern fire protection standards.

The District, NTPUD, and STPUD actively engage with legislators to advocate for new legislation and create funding opportunities.

These efforts center on generating state and federal funding to increase the investment in critical water infrastructure that improves firefighting capacity. The advocacy and outreach efforts have played a key role in addressing significant gaps in funding by creating new funding eligibility for these types of projects.

Thanks to these efforts, new grant funding has become available through the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (LTRA), a bill that recently included funding for water infrastructure for fire suppression projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Furthermore, the Partnership worked with Senator Alvarado-Gil to introduce SB 470, a bill that creates statewide eligibility for these types of projects.

This critical issue requires communities, including residents, land managers, and water agencies, to come together and take collective action, especially as wildfires continue to threaten our small, rural communities. These actions include home hardening and defensible space, fuel reduction projects within the wildland urban interface, and water infrastructure for fire suppression projects. For more information about the District's advocacy work, visit www.tcpud.org/legislative-affairs.

DISTRICT NEWS

North Lake Tahoe Recreation & Aquatic Center Feasibility A joint facility for the communities of North Lake Tahoe

In 2019, the North Tahoe and Tahoe City Public Utility Districts partnered to launch a community-wide assessment of the needs and desires for future active recreation opportunities in North

North Lake Tahoe RECREATION & AQUATIC CENTER

Lake Tahoe (Needs Assessment).

Through the first two assessment phases, consultants working with the Districts gathered input from the community. They analyzed the results, which revealed preliminary support for additional active recreation facilities and programming across the Districts’ shared boundary. Specifically, the community showed interest in a shared North Lake Tahoe Recreation & Aquatic Center.

In February 2023, both District Boards gave the green light for Phase III of the Needs Assessment. This Phase will determine the best financing option to fund a new facility, and conduct community polling to evaluate the level of community support for a potential tax measure. This effort will provide data to inform a strategy that could fund a project of this size and scope.

Multi-Use Trail Reconstruction Project TCPUD has a multi-year project planned to reconstruct sections of its 23-mile multi-use trail network that sees over 200,000 users year-round. A large portion of the trail network is over 20 years old, with some segments constructed over 40 years ago. Some of the segments have been improved, including the Truckee River Trail, however, other segments still need replacement and rehabilitation.

In July, the TCPUD Board of Directors received a presentation on a recently completed pavement condition and hazard assessment report on 17.2 miles of the trail network. The report recommends full reconstruction or extensive repair on virtually all the miles assessed. The total estimated cost of the project is $12 million. It will take about seven years to complete.

In 2024, trail reconstruction will begin on the 2.3-mile Hurricane Bay - Kaspian segment (west shore), built in 1976 and in very poor condition. In 2025, two segments on the north shore are planned for reconstruction. These segments were built between 1973 and 1998 and total 2.2 miles.

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 multiuse 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 Olympic 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!

HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE TCPUD MULTI-USE TRAIL SYSTEM! 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
