The Washoe County North Valleys Incident Command Team has completed construction of the temporary flood barrier around low lying areas of Swan Lake in Lemmon Valley. The “Hesco” barrier is four feet high, four miles long and filled with 12,000 yards of sand. Maintenance of the barrier is ongoing and will be monitored daily. The barrier is in place in the north, east and south sides of the lake.  In several places, flood water is being pumped away from homes and onto the other side of the barrier in Swan Lake. The goal was to make sure water wasn’t in contact with homes. Some water will still remain on properties , for example, in yards and driveways, so that it can evaporate naturally. The next community meeting is set for Wednesday at O’Brien Middle School at 6 p.m.
