South Lake Tahoe providing free sand bags

With the rainy-snowy season here, South Lake Tahoe is reminding residents that sand bags are available at no cost year round.

Sand and sand bags are available at the city’s public works yard located at 1160 Rufus Allen Blvd. as well as South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue Station No. 3 at 2101 Lake Tahoe Blvd.

Residents fill their own bags and transport back to their own residence. Try to limit the number of bags to 10 per visit.
