Lake Tahoe billionaire community dealing with potential sewage contamination
One of the most picturesque and affluent communities along Lake Tahoe is dealing with a nasty problem: potential raw sewage contamination. A boil water notice was sent Monday to residents of Incline Village, situated on the north end of Lake Tahoe in Nevada, after a water main break resulted in a loss of pressure in the water distribution system. In the notice, officials with the community’s general improvement district said the loss of pressure could cause backups through cracks and joints in pipes and pose a “high potential that fecal contamination or other disease-causing organisms could enter the distribution system.”
