Living in Silver City, CA: what to set up and who to call

Silver City has no town government of its own, so Tulare County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Woodlake Unified School District (9-12). The ER is a drive from Silver City: the closest is Southern Inyo Hospital, 34.3 miles away.
