With the impeding wet storm, the City of South Lake Tahoe reminds all residents that there are free 'do it yourself' sand bags available.
Available for free all year long, most people tend to think about needing them only during storms.
To get your free bags, go to the City's Streets and Snow Removal Yard at 1160 Rufus Allen Blvd next to the Recreation Complex. Proceed through the gate and drive to the back of the lot where you'll find a large sand mound, shovels and bags. Residents fill their own bags and transport back to their own residence. Please leave the shovels so that other residents may use them.
Try to limit the number of bags to 10 per visit.
Access to sand bags is available during normal business hours, Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For more information, contact the Public Works Department at (530) 542-6030.
