Silver City in Grant County, New Mexico — The American Mountains (Southwest)
Silver City Water Works
• In 1887, the Waterworks provided the very first municipal water supply for Silver City, operated under franchise by the Silver City Water Company.• In 1925, when sold to Silver City, it included a 30-acre parcel!
• In the 1920s, the waterworks property was used as a training ground for the 111th cavalry unit.
• In 1949, the metal shop was added!
• The building was used as a residence for city employees until 1967.
• We are doing our best to save it, but it’s going to cost a lot of money!
