South Tahoe Public Utility District
South Tahoe Public Utility District currently has one pending application submitted to the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for Keller/Heavenly Water System Improvements for
$5.5M. It is not related to PCE. The SWRCB is currently processing this application and has been
communicating regularly regarding application status.
Lukins Brothers Water Company, Inc
Lukins Brothers Water Company, Inc. (LBWC) currently has 5 project applications, and one
additional project in the process of being completed. Of those 5 applications, 3 are directly
related to the PCE contamination. LBWC has received mixed information from the Division of
Financial Assistance (DFA) regarding the status of our applications. Initially, we were told the
PCE projects would be a top priority and funded through Prop 1 grants. Recently we were
informed that Prop 1 funds are no longer available, and we are currently eligible for SRF loans
with principle forgiveness. Also, we were originally told that the PCE-related projects were to
be prioritized over infrastructure projects, and that non-PCE-related applications would only be
considered after the PCE projects were funded. Most recently, we were told that all our
projects would move forward for funding regardless of PCE-related status or previous
prioritization. This information was presented in May 2018 and, as of August 2018, we are not
aware of the State making any additional forward progress on LBWC’s projects.
