Swan Lake

An update on plans for modernizing Nevada’s transportation infrastructure and funding structure on Tuesday was met with concerns from Washoe County Commissioners, who said traditionally Clark County has received the lion’s share of road dollars. 

The Reno City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve a $4.5 million settlement with dozens of plaintiffs affected by the 2017 flooding of Swan Lake in the North Valleys.

The City of Reno in an after-hours press release today announced a $4.5 million settlement with plaintiffs affected by Swan Lake flooding in 2017.

Reno City Council voted to appeal the Swan Lake flooding lawsuit brought by residents of Lemmon Valley after a push from City Attorney Karl Hall.

The Reno City Attorney’s office is asking the Reno City Council to appeal a verdict awarding more than $750,000 to Swan Lake flood victims.

A judge last week sanctioned the City of Reno by fining city attorneys $1,500 for failing to admit to facts in the Swan Lake flood case filed by Lemmon Valley residents.

The city’s efforts to reduce Swan Lake’s water levels in Lemmon Valley have been successful.
