May 2006

U.S. Water News Online

DAYTON, Nev. -- Don't look for this one on eBay. But it's one of the most precious items in arid Nevada.

Carson City Rotary Club President John Allen is donating two acre-feet of water for an auction to benefit the Carson Tahoe Regional Cancer Center at the Armed Forces Day victory party.

The water is in Dayton, 12 miles east of Carson City and is enough to supply two families of four for a year. It's estimated to be worth $30,000 to $35,000.

The Rotary Club has committed to raise $200,000 over the next three years for the cancer center.
