Lake Tahoe Billionaires Face Water Contamination Warning
Incline Village, a wealthy area in Lake Tahoe known for its extremely conservative billionaires, is experiencing serious plumbing issues. On November 3, the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) issued a notice that a “loss of pressure in the distribution system” might have allowed dangerous contaminants, including fecal matter and disease-causing organisms, to enter the water supply.
“An event that resulted in loss of pressure in the distribution system” could have allowed contaminants, including fecal matter and disease-causing organisms, into the local water supply.
In simpler terms, residents, including billionaires, may have had bacteria-contaminated water in their homes. This situation echoes a similar event last summer when a billionaire enclave in Miami pressured nearby municipalities to manage septic waste issues.
Health Advisory and Precautions
Residents in the affected areas were advised to boil water for at least three minutes before using it for drinking, cooking, or even brushing their teeth. The advisory highlighted risk of parasites, viruses, and bacteria capable of causing nausea, diarrhea, and other symptoms if water is used untreated.
Despite the alarming notice, IVGID officials emphasized the warning is precautionary and that there is no confirmed fecal contamination in the water system so far.
“While the IVGID’s notice sounds alarming, officials stressed that the warning is precautionary. There’s no confirmation yet that fecal contamination actually made its way into the system.”
Possible Impact
- Residents urged to boil all water
- Potential health risks include gastrointestinal illness
- Expect increased demand for bottled water brands like Saratoga Springs
Such contamination events raise concerns about the infrastructure in affluent communities and the potential health implications for their residents.
