Presentation:

Join us for a presentation by Tom Grundy, PE, WRS, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Virginia & Gold Hill Water Company’s Water System to supply Virginia City and Gold Hill from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1873.  That system which has evolved to become the Marlette Lake Water System, continues to operate and serve the Comstock and Carson City today. Tom will discuss the history, engineering and hydraulics of the system.
