Sadly, the private owner of the Tahoe Cedars Water Co., a local West Shore provider, passed away suddenly in March as he prepared to start his work day. A Homewood resident for many years, the Tahoe PUD had been approaching the company for a potential purchase. This purchase is now in process and will soon be complete. All residents on the West Shore are already connected to the Tahoe PUD via the sewer connection which carries effluent to the Truckee treatment facility. The tie-in to the TPUD fresh water system may or may not include the existing service tanks that are sourced with well water from nearby deep wells.
Given that most customers to Tahoe Cedars system do not have metered service, that option will now, no doubt be presented. Looking over the TPUD web site, all the rates for service are explained in detail. New homes built in the last decade or two have fire sprinkler systems required by state law. These systems, while not nearly universal are also considered.
A time frame for completion has not been announced, but soon, customers will be advised as the purchase is completed. Stay tuned for upcoming changes.
