SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – One of South Tahoe Public Utility District’s water tanks had a mechanical issue where up to one gallon of food-grade oil leaked into the 200,000-gallon water tank in Christmas Valley. The oil floated to the top of the tank where it was discovered by staff during a routine inspection the evening of Tuesday, February 11, 2020, and the tank was immediately taken out of service.
