While residents are welcome to keep their sandbags if they can use them, with the Truckee river receding below flood status, the City of Sparks has established some drop off locations. 

On Friday, crews began pumping floodwater out of neighborhoods and roadways, into Swan Lake.  Approximately 100 acre feet of water was being pumped out of the flooded Palace Drive area on Friday.

On Tuesday afternoon, local, state and federal officials say while they recognize these have been trying times for residents, they are relieved to announce some temporary flooding solutions. The most notable temporary solution is the installation of a protective barrier.
