New Water System in at Lake Forest

   Our near neighbor, Tahoe City, announced through the Tahoe City Pub. Util Dist. that all the old pipes in the Lake Forest area have been replaced.   Most of the work was accomplished with a State Dept. of Public health grant of $2millions, Placer Cty Redevel. $400K, and Lake Forest customers: $400K.
     The TCPUD also announced a 1-mile Class 1 trail to complete the missing link in the West Shore trail network.  Yea.  This will directly affect all Tahoma residents who will now enjoy an extra mile of bike path, extending all the way to Meeks Bay resort which is used extensively during the summer months.   A great way to go by bicycle-on the path!  Although I doubt many "professional riders will use this path and continue to risk Highway 89 both  north bound and south bound.
     Much of the funding for the bike path come from the Federal Lands Access Program(FLAP).  That is $25.5millions worth.  A nice chunk of change, as they say.  Dollar Creek Path will also benefit.
    Look for construction efforts on site soon.
   In the TCPUD newsletter, there is some good information about bottled water vs. tap water.  More of the info can be found on the Tahoe Water Suppliers web site: www.TahoeH20.org or call 775-832-1212.
