Submitted by paula on Sun, 07/29/2018 - 10:55am
As most people have experienced, cell phone coverage around Lake Tahoe can be trying at times, especially during heavy tourist days when thousands of extra users are in the area.

Lake Tahoe cell phone coverage may soon be improved as Verizon is working with Liberty Utilities and NV Energy and local governments to place small, seven-foot, grounded cell towers on top of current power poles on all sides of the lake.

According to Heidi Hill Drum, Executive Director of the Tahoe Prosperity Center, her source at AT&T said 8 cell sites including 4GSM were affected by the Emerald Fire Friday. They told her the community could expect to be up and running by Saturday morning.
