Wildwood and Gardner Mountain Water System Improvements

The Wildwood and Gardner Mountain Water System Improvements project, managed by the South Tahoe Public Utility District, focuses on the replacement of aging waterline facilities in South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County. The scope of work includes replacing underground water pipelines and service laterals, installing new and replacement fire hydrants and hydrant laterals, and installing replacement pipeline appurtenances such as control panels and pipeline pressure relief stations. These efforts are intended to increase water efficiency, improve customer service levels by replacing leaking pipes, and enhance fire protection capacity by upsizing small diameter pipes. The project is classified under NAICS code 237110 and is located specifically along Wildwood Avenue between Overlook Court and Saddle Road. It has been granted a Categorical Exemption under Section 15302 Class 2 for replacement or reconstruction, as biological and cultural surveys confirmed that no sensitive species, habitats, or cultural resources are present at the ground disturbing locations. Laura Hendrickson, Associate Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
