With heavy rain expected over the weekend and into next week, the City of South Lake Tahoe is reminding citizens that sand bags are available, free of charge.
During wet storms, residents may find themselves with flooding issues around their homes and garages.
Sand bags are available year-round at the City’s Streets and Snow Removal Yard located at 1160 Rufus Allen Blvd. Their operating hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
To pick up bags, proceed through the gates and proceed to the back of the lot. At the back of the lot is a large sand mound, shovels and bags. Residents fill their own bags and transport back to their own residence. Leave the shovels so that other residents may use and try to limit the number of bags to 10 per visit.
