water faucet

Crews are working to fix a leak in several areas of South Lake Tahoe, with estimated restoration later in the evening.

South Lake Tahoe PUD says the following streets will be without water:

* O’Malley to Fountain

* Fountain to Carson

* Pinter to Carson

* Kubel to Carson

* Alma to Carson

It says, “when water service is restored, flush your waterline with an outside hose spigot or run a faucet without a screen on cold (such as a bathtub) until your water runs clear.”

There’s no immediate word on what caused the leak in the first place.
