About the Marlette Water Systems.
Water was stored in wooden tanks and sent through pipes into the towns. Virginia City had become America's greatest producer of high grade silver and gold ore. On May 12, 1862 the water companies combined to form the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company. In the early 1870's the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Company realized they needed more water to supply the cities domestic and mining needs as a drought was starting to threaten the cities.
I started out taking pictures of this pristine area just for myself, but it morphed into something bigger and I became interested in the history of the water system. Then I decided to incorporate this history into a picture book that I was putting together for myself. I have traveled all the roads involved in the water system, from Marlette to Virginia City, Nevada and it has been quite a trip. I am excited to share this experience with other people as the Marlette area provides beauty and tranquility. From the author Julie Michler
