South Lake Tahoe, CA (May 5, 2026) – The South Tahoe Public Utility District (District) is pleased to offer free public tours of its wastewater treatment plant on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. These one-hour tours give residents a behind-the-scenes look at how the facility operates and the essential role it plays in protecting Lake Tahoe’s environment.

Participants will tour the treatment plant and learn how wastewater is cleaned and safely reused. Tours are free, but advance registration is required. Space is limited to 20 participants per tour and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, visit stpud.us/events or sign up directly at: www.stpud.us/2026-05-20-public-waste-water-treatment-plant-tours.

Tours will begin in the South Tahoe Public Utility District Board Room, located at 1275 Meadow Crest Drive in South Lake Tahoe.

“We don’t often get to show people what happens after they turn on the tap or flush the drain,” said Aaron Buckman, Manager of Plant Operations. “These tours are a great way for our community to see firsthand the work that goes into treating wastewater and protecting the lake we all depend on.”
