SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - – The South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) Board of Directors adopted a temporary COVID-19 Rate Relief Program during their last meeting to assist residents and businesses that are facing financial hardship due to the pandemic. This new program offers a 50 percent credit to one quarterly sewer bill for customers in need.
“This pandemic has impacted some in our community more than others,” said STPUD Board Presdient Randy Vogelgesang. “We felt that we needed to do our part to help our customers who need it the most.”
This program compliments measures already adopted to help customers during the pandemic, including no shut-offs for non-payment, waiving late fees, and adopting a zero percent rate increase.
Residential sewer customers whose primary residence is in STPUD’s service area, business sewer customers, and multi-family residential sewer customers that have been negatively affected by the economic impact of COVID-19 are eligible to apply. Applications will be received through October 30, 2020. To apply, visit https://stpud.us/covid-19-response/.
