With heavy rain and snow in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, South Lake Tahoe and Truckee officials are reminding residents where they can get sand bags.

The snow level is expected to be at 7,500 feet and above.

In South Lake Tahoe bags are available at the city’s public works yard at 1160 Rufus Allen Blvd. as well as fire station No. 3 located at 2101 Lake Tahoe Blvd.
