Community Information

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.

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.
