As Washoe County staff continues flood protections around Swan Lake, the Board of County Commissioners approved up to $300,000 of additional protections including HESCO barrier to expand existing protections in place for this winter. Construction will take place in Lemmon Valley at the end of Pompe Way to the west toward Casey Court, around Swan Lake. The work will connect a new berm and an existing barrier. This new portion of protection will allow residents on Pompe Way without access to their homes, to potentially move back in, and will assure protections to the remainder of the neighborhood to the west.
