About Kingsbury General Improvement District

Kingsbury General Improvement District was established in 1964 to consolidate water and wastewater services and provide reliable road maintenance and drainage services to the community on behalf of the County. The district has laden powers which have not been active or likely to become used in the foreseeable future. The district is a public agency primarily engaged in water production & distribution, wastewater collection, and road maintenance functions within its boundaries. There are several minor variations such as the expanded water service area or private roads which nuance the circumstances. To achieve its goals the district partners with several other entities. The district utilizes the services of the Douglas County Lake Tahoe Sewer Authority for treatment of the sewage and outsources the sewer collection system maintenance. Straddling State Route 207, the district also outsources the snow removal function within the district jurisdiction. The district is one of the larger agencies within the County and often is the leading voice from Nevada within the Tahoe Basin. The district is home to Heavenly Ski Resort (Nevada operations) and soon to be Barton Hospital as well as providing the base camp for the residents within the 3,000 homes served.
