Dear Tahoe Cedars Water Customers,

We are writing to share an upcoming TCPUD Board item related to the Tahoe Cedars Water System Reconstruction Project, specifically the relocation of customer-owned water service lines. 

Many Tahoe Cedars customers have an existing water service line that connects through a backyard alignment. As part of the project, these backyard connections will need to be relocated to connect to new water mains that will be installed in the streets. 

The TCPUD Board of Directors will review and discuss this topic at their regular meetings on:

• Friday, July 18 at 8:30 a.m. - At this meeting, the Board will receive a presentation and consider the first draft of a Resolution regarding property owner responsibility for service line relocations. 

• Friday, August 15 at 8:30 a.m. - Following the Board's review and public input, the final Resolution is expected to be adopted at this meeting. 

We welcome attendance and public comment either in-person or online via Zoom. Agendas and virtual attendance instructions are posted at least 72 hours in advance at www.tcpud.org/meetings. 

As part of the project, existing backyard water mains will be abandoned and replaced with new water mains in the streets. Property owners with backyard water connections will be responsible for relocating their service lines to connect to the new water mains.

At this time, we do not have details regarding estimated costs, timelines, or contractor options. However, we are committed to sharing this information as soon as it is available. 

Customers will see crews from our design and contractor team, Granite-DOWL, in the neighborhood this summer completing fieldwork and underground investigations to support the design. 

The first phase of construction is scheduled to begin in 2026. The location(s) for the 2026 construction phase are still being determined. We expect this project will involve multiple construction phases over the next four to five years.
