The Tahoe Water for Fire Suppression partnership is a collaborative effort among 17 water service agencies within the Tahoe Basin focused on projects that critical water infrastructure and enhancing fire suppression capability. Following completion of the basin-wide Vegetation Management Plan (completed by another project), this project consists of the implementation phase that advances fuels reduction activities at priority water delivery infrastructure sites identified across the Basin. The Plan identified 39 critical facilities managed by STPUD, TCPUD, and NTPUD. Project activities include tree removal, tree thinning, and brush removal to reduce wildfire risk.
