Community Information

My community is on Nevada Street in a town named Yerington Nevada. My area is in town, close to restaurants, and the school. Also, the outskirts of Yerington which consists of newer homes. My project is about how much my area in Yerington Nevada pay more in water/sewage then the out skirts of town.

William Lee homesteaded in Yerington and built his boarding house in town for travelers to stay at. He convinced many of his friends to move and build their businesses there as well. The houses in town are older then the houses on the out skirts which where built between 1918, when the Anaconda Mine opened up, and most recent dates. The piping in town is being replaced because they are much older and that is why we pay more in water/sewage. Once the job is done they will not be lowering the bill

My community doesn’t want to be paying more in water/sewage once the piping is all finished.
