Truth On Tap: Las Vegas Leads In Water Conservation
GLOBAL LEADER IN WATER CONSERVATION
Despite what you might have heard in the national media, Las Vegas is not running out of water. In fact, Las Vegas is the most water secure city in the Desert Southwest. You may also be surprised to learn that Southern Nevada is a global leader in water conservation, recycling and reusing virtually every drop of water used indoors. Our community’s commitment to conservation enables us to continue growing, even as we decrease our overall water use. Las Vegas is the #6 ranked Most Sustainable City in America according to Battleface, and our commitment to water conservation is one of the primary contributing factors. Get to know the real Las Vegas, by reading on to demystify any misconceptions, and learn how our access to water can help your business thrive.
With Limited Resources, How Can We Continue To Grow?
Recognizing the need to reduce the region’s water use, the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which manages the region’s water resources, in 2002 implemented one of the most progressive and comprehensive water conservation plans in the nation. Mandatory conservation measures include seasonal watering restrictions, golf course water budgets, a grass replacement program, wastewater penalties, and changes to municipal codes that significantly reduce the impact of new development on our water supply.

One Regional, Unified Voice
The Southern Nevada Water Authority was formed in 1991 by a cooperative agreement among seven water and waste agencies that collectively serve nearly 2.3 million residents and more than 43 million annual visitors. The agency is responsible for water treatment and delivery, as well as acquiring and managing long-term water resources for Southern Nevada. Since its inception, the SNWA has worked to secure new water resources for Southern Nevada, manage existing and future water supplies, construct and operate regional water facilities, and promote conservation.
Protecting Southern Nevada’s Water Supply
“Our community has blazed the trail for urban conservation both nationally and internationally by reducing our consumptive use from the river while simultaneously adding more people to our valley.”
-John Entsminger, General Manager, Southern Nevada Water Authority
