DISTRICT NEWS - LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS Guided by the TCPUD 2021-22 Advocacy Priorities, the TCPUD actively monitors and engages in state and federal legislation. The Priorities, adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2021, were identified to advance the TCPUD Mission to serve the people in our community, as well as the environment. The TCPUD is dedicated to providing safe and reliable water service to its customers, sewer service for the protection of public health, and parks and recreation services that enhance quality of life.

Through formal communication and collaborative meetings with elected representatives, advocacy organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies on a wide range of issues, the TCPUD responds to legislation that could impact TCPUD and our constituents. TCPUD is committed to proactive legislative action on important issues including water infrastructure, fire suppression, water use, and outdoor recreation.

Locally, TCPUD participates in partnerships that work collaboratively to pursue legislative action and funding mechanisms that promote mutual goals with the Tahoe Basin. The goals include initiatives that address water infrastructure, recreation, transportation, housing, and restoration. These partnerships include the California Tahoe Alliance, the Lake Tahoe Water for Fire Suppression Partnership, and the Climate Transformation Alliance.

Notable legislative initiatives monitored by TCPUD include:

SB 222 (Dodd) Water Rate Assistant Program This bill would have established a Water Rate Assistance Fund to help provide water affordability assistance for both drinking water and wastewater services to low-income residential ratepayers. The TCPUD agrees that California should have a program that helps low-income households, however, SB 222 proposed an inefficient program that would waste program funding on unnecessary administrative costs. The TCPUD joined a coalition that intensely advocated for specific amendments to make the bill work efficiently. Important amendments were not accepted by the bill’s author, and on September 28, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the bill. The TCPUD will monitor future legislative action that addresses water affordability assistance.

SB 1157 (Hertzberg) Urban Water Use Objectives, Indoor Residential Water Use This bill establishes a new and more stringent standard for residential water use. Beginning January 1, 2025, the new standard lowers water use from 52.5 gallons per capita (GPCD) to 47 GPCD, and again on January 1, 2030 to 42 GPCD. TCPUD worked with a coalition to advocate for specific amendments that would balance water supply benefits with affordability ramifications. The bill was signed by Governor Newsom on September 28, and while the bill did not include the coalition’s requested amendments, the Governor issued a signing message, in alignment with the amendments, that requests funding for the Department of Water Resources to complete additional studies and create variances to reflect local investments in recycled water and infrastructure.

Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation The California Air Resources Board released Draft Regulatory Language for the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation Public Fleet in August 22. In response, the TCPUD signed onto a joint Truckee-Tahoe agency comment letter that expresses concern about the Draft Rule’s potential negative impacts on critical infrastructure and our ability to support public safety and emergency response. TCPUD continues to monitor this initiative for further action.

Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Tour TCPUD hosted a tour of the West Lake Tahoe Regional Water Treatment Plant Project for ACWA representatives.

fire suppression projects in the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act. The tour highlighted the important dual role that water availability and forest fuel reduction played in protecting the South Lake Tahoe community from the Caldor Fire. Due to the prior investments in both water infrastructure and forest fuel reduction activities, not a single structure was lost.

Lake Tahoe Summit With partners from the Lake Tahoe Water for Fire Suppression Partnership (Partnership), TCPUD staffed a booth at the 26th Anniversary Lake Tahoe Summit hosted by Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada. This year's Summit, themed "Protecting Lake Tahoe’s Future", emphasized continuing to improve efforts to protect the Lake Tahoe Basin from catastrophic fire. The Partnership’s booth highlighted necessary improvements in water infrastructure, such as additional fire hydrants and flow capacity, to improve fire suppression activities.

DISTRICT NEWS

TCPUD Secures Placer County Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Grant Funds The Placer County Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), paid by lodging visitors, helps fund projects that address the impacts of tourism on our community, the environment, and Placer County. In 2022, TCPUD secured over $70,000 in TOT funds for projects that improve the quality of recreational experiences in north Lake Tahoe.

Solar Powered Waste Compactors This Project will install four 35-gallon solar trash compactors at high volume trash collection areas within TCPUD's service area, including Skylandia Park, Commons Beach, Lake Forest Boat Ramp, and Kilner Park.

Each unit holds up to five times more waste compared to non-compacting bins of similar size, reducing TPCUD's trash collection frequency by up to 80%. This technology helps to minimize vehicle trips by optimizing trash collection schedules.

Additionally, the project helps protect the lake and wildlife by minimizing trash overflows.

TCPUD

Portable Changeable Message Sign The TCPUD purchased a portable changeable message sign (PCMS) to improve community communications by alerting the public of traffic congestion, parking impacts, and heavy pedestrian crossings related to popular recreation areas and community events. The PCMS is also available as a shared resource for agency and community partners.

Sequoia Trail Crossing Safety Upgrades The Sequoia Trail Crossing is located along the TCPUD Multi-Use Trail System on the west shore near Sequoia Avenue and Highway 89.

Pedestrian safety improvements were identified as a priority in the West Shore Highway Crossing Improvement Project Report (Placer County 2019).

This Project includes upgrades to the advance warning lights at four locations and the installation of two solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons. These improvements will help increase pedestrian visibility and improve the safety of alternative travel options for commuting or touring along the west shore.

Infrastructure

TCPUD prioritizes investing in our infrastructure so we can provide customers with reliable and safe drinking water and sewer services that protect the health of the environment and public. Active projects underway by TCPUD include:

Dardanelles Avenue Water Line Replacement Project The Dardanelles Avenue Water Line Replacement Project in the Dollar Point neighborhood is one project on the horizon in 2023 that supports TCPUD’s commitment to investing in water infrastructure.

The Project, currently in the design and permitting phase, will replace existing aged and undersized water infrastructure installed in the early 1960s. This includes replacing two dead-end water mains with a continuous 8-inch water line to complete the water line loop on the street and the installation of two new fire hydrants.

Once complete the Project will improve water delivery and supply as well as supporting fire flows and firefighting capabilities within the water distribution system.

The Project will cost approximately $1.1 million. TCPUD has secured grant funding for this Project through the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (LTRA), a bill that recently authorized funding for eligible water infrastructure for fire suppression projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Emergency Bypass Ports and Sewer Pumps Station Storage Improvement Project TCPUD is completing Phase 1 of an Emergency Bypass Ports and Sewer Pumps Station Storage Improvement Project in the Rubicon Bay neighborhood. Phase 1 of this Project includes the installation of four bypass ports along a 1-mile section of sewer force main and construction of storage vaults at two sewer pump stations. Phase 1 improvements will allow TCPUD to take shorter sections of the sewer force main offline in the event of a break or damage. Total cost for the Project is approximately $4.6 million.

Do you enjoy working with kids, serving the

Between living on the lake, working with Camp Skylandia and the endless outdoor options of outdoor activities, accepting the TCPUD internship was one of the best decisions I had made in my life. I was able to make new friends and connections that I feel will last a lifetime. I feel like it had prepared me to move on in the world of recreation to follow my own dreams and absolutely confirmed the fact that I want to make recreation my career path. Lake Tahoe will forever hold a a place in my heart. ~ Cody, Summer Intern 2021 | Spokane, Washington

community, and making a difference? If you're affiliated with a Parks and Recreation program/degree, then this is the opportunity for you! We work with each student individually to develop a successful and rewarding internship experience. Internships are available year-round and more information can be found here: tcpud.org/internshipopportunities

I absolutely loved working and getting to know the staff members at the PUD. Working closely with Kurt, Patrick, Cory, and Carley both in and out of the office, I had so many laughs, fun moments, challenges, and learning experiences.

These four showed constant support and were always there to help with optimistic attitudes. From the start of the internship until the end, I can see where I have grown. For example, persevering through challenging situations that I was unfamiliar with, time management skills, and intentional communication are some areas that I have strengthened. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone who has a determined personality and will appreciate the beauty of Tahoe. It was a dream, thanks TCPUD!

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 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!

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.

Our Vision

Building a healthy mountain community through our passion for public service.

Our Mission

The mission of the Tahoe City Public Utility District is to serve the people in our community, as well as the environment. It is our responsibility to provide safe and reliable water service, sewer service for the protection of public health, and parks and recreation services to enhance quality of life. We are committed to achieving these and other tasks within the scope of the Public Utility District Act in a sound fiscal manner.

Our History

Established under the State of California's Public Utility District Act, the Tahoe City Public Utility District (TCPUD) was founded in 1938. It is the oldest local government office in the Tahoe Basin. The founders of the District created TCPUD to provide public water service to the local community. Today, water service is provided in eight separate systems and serves approximately three quarters of the homes and businesses in the District. TCPUD became involved in parks and recreation in 1947 as a result of public interest in improving the maintenance and public access for Commons Beach. In 1952 the Tahoe City sewer system was built and has been operated by TCPUD ever since. In the early 1960s the community requested that TCPUD begin a parks and recreation program and these services have been provided for the past 50 plus years. The ability to take on more responsibilities and services for the community was made possible due to the foresight of our founders who chose a form of government that can provide multiple types of service.

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.
