In the tank
A contract worker with Utility Services Co. welds repair patches over corroded areas of North Tahoe PUD's Carnelian Woods #2 tank. The rehabilitation project aims to bring the 500,000-gallon storage tank up to safety codes. Rehabilitating the existing tank rather than replacing it was done to make the best use of existing district assets and funds.
A handful of leaks have been found and repaired, and more than 300 reconstructive patches have been welded over the corroded areas.
