Sunol

I went to Sunol, CA to see the Sunol Water Temple that was built by the Spring Valley Water Company in 1910 and later owned by the San Francisco Water District as it is today. The structure was built to enhance the companies profile as a public utilities. I am planning a body of work that looks at the conservation, use, and removal of water, and thought this was a good place to start.
