Sand bags available to S. Tahoe residents

With thunderstorms seeming to be the norm these days, South Lake Tahoe is reminding residents that sand bags are available at no cost year-round.

The sand lot is located at 1160 Rufus Allen Blvd., next to Campground by the Lake.

At the back of the lot is a large sand mound, shovels and bags. Residents fill their own bags and transport back to their own residence. The limit is 10 bags per visit.

Access to sand bags is available during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 7:30am-4pm.
