Southbound I-580 just south of the Carson Street off-ramp.
2:42pm A utility vehicle was headed downhill pulling a large travel trailer just south of Washoe Valley on I-580 when for some reason the large trailer careened out of control just north of the Carson Street exit. The trailer rolled over onto its side – fortunately not into both travel lanes. Both vehicles – still attached – came to a sliding stop against the freeway’s outer sidewall. The occupants in the utility vehicle quickly crawled out and waited for the Nevada Highway Patrol to arrive. What caused the initial swinging and swaying of the vehicles was not immediately revealed. But again, nobody hurt. They were very lucky.
1:45pm A vehicle pulling a travel-trailer southbound on I-580 lost control just north of Arrowhead. The trailer rolled over. Those in the tow vehicle are okay and are out of their vehicle. Caution in the area.

Carson City announces changes to Carson City utility billing and online payments
(Carson City, NV) – Carson City Public Works and the Carson City Treasurer’s Office are excited to announce the launch of Carson City’s new utility billing program. Starting Tuesday, August 3, 2021, customer utility bills will have a different look, and will be more user-friendly so that customers can find and review utility billing information and consumption history. In addition, this new utility billing program will also allow customers to manage all aspects of their utility account through a new online portal, where the customer can view, print, and pay utility bills.
During this transition, the current online payment portal Click2Gov will be disabled, and will no longer work to process online utility payments. Effective Friday, August 6, 2021, utility customers can make online payments through the new self-service payment portal located at https://selfservice.carson.org/.
Carson City Public Works and the Carson City Treasurer’s Office appreciate your understanding as they transition to this new system and look forward to working with you in the new utility billing system. Should you need any assistance or have any questions as it relates to this transition or re-establishing your recurring monthly payment, please contact either Carson City Public Works or the Carson City Treasurer’s Office at the following:
Carson City Public Works: 775-887-2355 ext. 2 or utilitybilling@carson.org, Carson City Treasurer’s Office: 775-887-2092 or treasurer@carson.org
