Hi team,
Below is proposed information to share with South Tahoe Now and our staff regarding the accident.
To South Tahoe Now:
South Tahoe Public Utility leases a 35x45 foot piece of land off Al Tahoe Boulevard to Verizon. Verizon is currently
constructing a cell phone tower at this location (there is no 5G currently planned for this site).
At around 10am on Thursday, May 28, 2020, there was an accident on the construction site where an operator was
injured. South Lake Tahoe Fire Department responded and the injured operator was transported to Barton. For more
information, contact South Lake Tahoe Fire Department or JFC Construction, Operations Manager, David Muth. Cell:
925‐766‐3026.
To STPUD employees:
Good afternoon everyone,
As many of you know, Verizon leases a piece of District land behind the bone yard and is currently constructing a cell‐
phone tower. At around 10am this morning there was an accident on the Verizon construction site where an operator
was injured. South Lake Tahoe Fire Department responded and the injured operator was transported to Barton. My
heart goes out to all who were on‐site and to the operator and his family. As we enter construction season I want to
encourage everyone to be extra careful on jobsites this summer.
