Water, being an invaluable resource, essential to the
existence of life and paramount to the future growth of Churchill
County, must be preserved and the impact on its diminishing
availability, minimized. In 1903, the United States Congress authorized
the Newlands Project. Subsequent federal decrees on the Carson and
Truckee Rivers secured water rights that have allowed and enhanced this
community's growth. The intent of the water dedication ordinance is to
protect this vested natural resource for future generations.
