SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The boil water advisory for the North Upper Truckee and
Chiapa neighborhood has been lifted - the tap water is safe to drink.
The South Tahoe Public Utility District collected an additional 30 water samples within the affected area on the evening of Wednesday, November 18, 2020. Chlorine residual levels were found to be normal at all sites. No coliform bacteria, which includes E. Coli, was detected in any of the samples.
The announcement comes two days after the boil water advisory was issued. The advisory was issued because water from a tank that had been cleaned was released into the distribution system before the tank had been properly disinfected.
