Starting in Kings Beach to Tahoe City, sewage is collected from the North Tahoe and Tahoe City public utility districts before being exported from the Basin through a 17-mile network of pipe.

The wastewater travels downhill along the Highway 89/Truckee River corridor, picking up more discharged wastewater from Alpine Springs County Water District and the Squaw Valley Public Service District, and finally from Truckee Sanitary District.

The five agencies that contribute wastewater to the system comprise the Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation District.

Water meter ruling nears

The so-called "switch" could soon be "flipped."

That's the long-standing term used to describe the planned finalization of years of efforts to convert all water-users in the Truckee Meadows to metered service.

Directors of the Truckee Meadows Water Authority, the area's primary water purveyor, are expected to decide Dec. 13 whether all customers should be required to hook up to meters next year. The first of a series of public meetings leading up to that decision is Saturday.

"I think it's time," said Reno Councilman Dave Aiazzi, a water authority board member. The authority is owned by Reno, Sparks and Washoe County.

Metered customers are billed according to how much water they use. Flat-rate customers pay the same amount, just under $75 per month, regardless of use.
