Flood Project Begins in the Stead Area

The City of Reno is continuing emergency flood-protection measures for the industrial buildings that surround Silver Lake in the Stead area. The City of Reno is deploying “HESCO” barriers in anticipation of snowmelt runoff from Peavine Mountain within the West Lemmon Valley watershed, which feeds Silver Lake. These protection measures will assist in preventing flooding of Moya Boulevard and also keep vital transportation corridors open and accessible to the public.
