Conserve Our Water, Stop Excessive Users
Las Vegas Valley Water District Board of Directors
At their upcoming meeting, the Las Vegas Valley Water District Board of Directors is considering adopting a series of measures aimed towards water conservation. Among these is an Excessive Use Charge which would kick in at about double the current average household use and penalize only the most wasteful of water users.
Users like Steve Wynn, who used 4,934,800 gallons of water at his personal residence in 2021. Or Lorenzo Fertitta, who used over 9,583,100 gallons, more than 80 times the average household's.
LVVWD estimates that this measures will result in an additional $25 million in revenue that can be used to support future water infrastructure to ensure that all residents in the valley can have reliable access to safe water.
The last thing we need is the ruling class wasting our valuable resources for their own extravagant leisure.
Sign this form to submit an open comment to the Las Vegas Valley Water District Board of Directors and call on them to adopt the conservation measures outlined in agenda item 10. You can also submit public comment in-person on October 4th at 9am at the Clark County Government Center at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway.

To the Las Vegas Valley Water District Board of Directors,
I urge you to adopt the water conservation measures outlined in agenda item 10.
Water is a limited resource and it will only become more scarce. We need to plan ahead and make responsible decisions about how to steward it. The proposed conservation measures in agenda item 10 will raise an estimated $25 million that will help support future water infrastructure to ensure that all residents in the valley can have reliable access to safe water.
The Excessive Use Charge will not affect the vast majority of the valley's residential users, but it will rein in those with the most unrestricted water use.
Although Nevada has been a leader in conservation, this does not mean that the wealthiest residents get a pass to waste water.
Thank you for considering these conservation measures and creating a sustainable future for all of us.
