HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
Danger: REPORT May 10, 2021
Community Activities and Services
My Community of Interest Project is about how in my area we pay more in water/sewerage then other areas in my town and why. My area in on South Nevada Street, in Yerington Nevada, and it is in town mostly consists of older homes. William Lee homesteaded here and built from in town. The out skirts of Yerington have newer houses, these houses where built when the Anaconda Mine was active in 1918, more are being built because the active mine "Pumpkin Hollow".
Community Needs and Concerns
We pay more in water/sewerage because the pipes in town burst due to the fact they are so old. The pipes are being replaced and we are paying for the new pipping and labor to install. I learned that after the job is done we will still be paying the same amount. My Community concern is that our bill be lowered when the job is done and also, if these new pipes are at any danger to us.

My area is on South Nevada Street, in Yerington Nevada, which is in town and the houses in town are mostly older homes. William Lee homesteaded here and built from in town. The out skirts of Yerington consists of mostly newer homes because they where built during when the Anaconda Mine was alive in the 1918s. Also, more where built because of the Pumpkin Hollow mine still alive today.

The Rural Fault Community at Kings Canyon
HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
Danger: REPORT May 3, 2021
Economic or Environmental Interests
The community is located right on top of a grouping of fault lines. Some of the fault lines actually cut through some of the community's structures. This poses a need for some kind of increased service to the area in the event of an earthquake due to damage related to ground rupture; Also known as displacement. Please note that western Nevada has a very high seismic danger.
Community Needs and Concerns
This community lies far out from the center of the city and relies on such utilities as wells and septic. As being rural, the community has a shared policy concern about the development of the nearby rural area. The community has interest in preserving their “ruralness” by limiting development in the relative area. This includes the possible “Vintage at Kings Canyon” project in the nearby former Anderson Ranch area.

Concerns for Virginia City Mines
HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
Danger: REPORT May 2, 2021
Economic or Environmental Interests
My community is a boomtown. There are many open mines that produce risk for not only residents and visitors but also the wildlife. Some of the mines are noticed and blocked off, but others are still holes in the ground that can be unnoticed until it's too late. The dangerous toxins that come from the mines kill poeple and animals.

Danger: REPORT May 2, 2021
Cultural or Historical Interests
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
Community Activities and Services

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

Fernley's Old Town Roads
HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
Danger: REPORT May 1, 2021
Community Needs and Concerns
Currently, Fernley's roads suffer from large cracks, potholes, unevenness, and bumpy texture. These damages make it difficult to drive when driving through the city. Fernley's roads haven't been repaved since 1993. In other words, 28 years have gone by since the roads were last worked on. That's almost 3 decades of driving through the same old worn-down roads. Keep in mind that Fernley's population will continue to grow, causing more wear and damages to its roads.

Smith Valley Agricultual Community
HIST 217 Week 13 Community of Interest Part 5 Submissions
Danger: REPORT April 30, 2021
Community Needs and Concerns
My community is an agricultural-based community so water rights is a big deal. The way that water rights have always worked is that whenever you got your water rights was how much water you got and when you can start using them. I think that this should be changed because for one, this seems like an outdated system. And two, there are people who get their water rights first and then don't use them all or don't have enough. They should be displaced and given out for how much you need/available.

My community is made of the people that attend Oasis Academy and go to the Fallon Youth Club after school program. Also many children walk to the Venturacci Park and Gym nearby. These places allow a place for children to go when their parents are working. It also allows them a place to make new friends in a safe and supervised environment close to their homes.
