Carnelian Bay West beach remains closed and reduced health advisory area in effect
This is an update for Sunday, July 28, 2024.
Carnelian West Beach will remain closed, and a reduced health advisory is in effect through at least Monday, July 29. Placer County’s health advisory area has been reduced to the area between 5146 North Lake Blvd and 4600 North Lake Blvd.
Residents and visitors are advised that contact with the lake water in the reduced advisory area could cause illness due to elevated bacteria levels.
Officials are continuing to evaluate the results daily and the health advisory will be lifted or modified after at least two days of data showing that levels are consistently below California beaches water quality standards.
Water quality samples are continuing to be taken from the Lake Tahoe shoreline inside and outside the advisory zone. The results have a required minimum processing time of 24 hours.
Placer County and the NTPUD will continue to provide updates every afternoon on the ongoing health advisory and closure areas as ongoing water quality test results are evaluated.
Additional information about the incident and what to do if you came into contact with lake water in the health advisory zone since Friday, July 19, is available online on our Incident FAQ page.
