Washoe Valley - 2027 Tour of the Marlette Water System
The Marlette Lake Water System is a historic water system originally constructed in the mid-1870's to provide water to Virginia City. It was an engineering marvel, using gravity to move water up and out of the Tahoe Basin, down the Sierra and into the Virginia Range to Virginia City. It still provides raw water to Carson City and Storey County, providing water through an inverted siphon that doesn't need power.
Event Registration fee includes tour transportation, non-alcoholic beverages, lunch, snacks and informative handouts.
