"But this week, " Income Village " is facing an unsavory problem. According to a Nov. 3 notice from the Incline Village General Improvement District, due to an "event that resulted in loss of pressure in the distribution system," there is a "high potential" that fecal matter and disease-causing organisms have entered the town's infrastructure. Homes in the Lariat Circle area will experience intermittent water shut-offs all day while the department works on remedying the issue, the IVGID's website shows."
"Affected areas include: all of Lariat Way and Lariat Circle; 553-681 Tyner Way; all of Doeskin Court; all of Rockrose Court; all of Alden Way; and all of Dale Drive. Inadequately treated water can carry viruses, parasites and bacteria, which can lead to cramps, diarrhea and an array of other debilitating symptoms, according to the advisory. Children, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals could face more adverse health impacts."
Incline Village, a wealthy Lake Tahoe community, experienced a distribution-system pressure loss that may have allowed fecal matter and disease-causing organisms into the water infrastructure. The Incline Village General Improvement District issued a Nov. 3 notice warning of high potential contamination and scheduled intermittent water shut-offs in the Lariat Circle area while crews repair the system. Affected addresses include Lariat Way, Lariat Circle, 553-681 Tyner Way, and surrounding courts and drives. The advisory warns that inadequately treated water can carry viruses, parasites and bacteria, posing greater risk to children, the elderly and immunocompromised people. Residents must boil water for at least three minutes or use bottled water until further notice. IVGID expects normal operations by Nov. 6.
