Flumes have been delivering water for 150 years in the Sierra | Bartell's Backroads

You've probably seen flumes off interstate 80 near Truckee or maybe down below Highway 50 in the Pollock Pines area. They're made out of wood, they span long distances and for some reason, they carry water. In El Dorado County alone, about 120,000 people depend on the flume to get their drinking water.
