Can You Drink Tap Water in North Las Vegas?
Yes, North Las Vegas's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as North Las Vegas has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page, the city's water provider website, or North Las Vegas's local Twitter account.
According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, North Las Vegas's water utility, North Las Vegas Utilities, had 0 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. This assessment is based on the North Las Vegas Utilities water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.
While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.
The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.
Water Quality Report for North Las Vegas Tap Water
The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in North Las Vegas tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.
Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.
EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.
There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.
We recommend looking at the contaminants present in North Las Vegas's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.
North Las Vegas Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years
Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named North Las Vegas Utilities for North Las Vegas in Nevada. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.
Is there Lead in North Las Vegas Water?
Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the North Las Vegas water system, North Las Vegas Utilities, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.001 mg/L of lead in North Las Vegas water. This is 6.7% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from North Las Vegas contained more lead.
While North Las Vegas water testing may have found 0.001 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.
No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.
Are there PFAS in North Las Vegas Tap Water?
Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Nellis AFB - near North Las Vegas with suspected leaks.
With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if North Las Vegas has been evaluated for yet.
Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.
What do these Violations Mean?
Safe Drinking Water Act Violations categories split into two groups, health based, and non-health based. Generally, health based violations are more serious, though non-health based violations can also be cause for concern.
Health Based Violations
- Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) - maximum allowed contaminant level was exceeded.
- Maximum residual disinfectant levels (MRDLs) - maximum allowed disinfectant level was exceeded.
- Other violations (Other) - the exact required process to reduce the amounts of contaminants in drinking water was not followed.
Non-Health Based Violations
- Monitoring and reporting violations (MR, MON) - failure to conduct the required regular monitoring of drinking water quality, and/or to submit monitoring results on time.
- Public notice violations (Other) - failure to immediately alert consumers if there is a serious problem with their drinking water that may pose a risk to public health.
- Other violations (Other) - miscellaneous violations, such as failure to issue annual consumer confidence reports or maintain required records.

To Our Valued Water Customers:
When you turn on your tap, you can rest assured that water delivered by the City of North Las Vegas meets or exceeds all State of Nevada and Federal Drinking Water Standards. That is our top priority.
The City of North Las Vegas Utilities Department provides safe and reliable drinking water at a reasonable price. Our employees work hard every day to ensure the water provided to our community meets the regulatory standards and is delivered with good water pressure for your use. We take pride in keeping you informed about the quality of our water and the service we provide.
For more information about how the City of North Las Vegas maintains the safety of your drinking water and to view previous year’s reports, please visit www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/Department/Utilities.
Water Source:
Clean water begins at the source. More than 90 percent of the water supplied to North Las Vegas customers comes from Lake Mead. Virtually all of the water in Lake Mead originates as snowmelt in the Rocky Mountains that flows down the Colorado River. The Lower Colorado River regional water quality is monitored weekly at Lake Mead to ensure clean, safe drinking water for the Las Vegas Valley.
The remainder of the water supplied to customers comes from wells that tap a deep groundwater aquifer beneath the valley. Groundwater is used regularly throughout the year. Customers who live in the western and northwestern part of the City have the potential to receive a blend of treated Lake Mead water and groundwater. Groundwater in the Las Vegas Valley aquifer is naturally recharged from precipitation in the Spring Mountains and the Sheep Mountain Range.
Source Water Assessment:
The Federal Safe Drinking Water Act was amended in 1996 and requires states to develop and implement source water assessment programs, which analyze existing and potential threats to the quality of public drinking water throughout the
service area. The purpose of the Source Water Protection program is to help prevent contaminants from entering public water sources.
A summary of North Las Vegas’ susceptibility to contaminants may be accessed online at: www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/ departments/utilities/ and clicking on “Water Quality.” Additional information about the Nevada Source Water Assessment Program can be found at www.ndep.nv.gov.
Source (Untreated) Water Contaminants:
- Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
-
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be
naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. -
Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources such as storm water
run-off, agriculture, and residential users. -
Organic contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are
by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, may also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
To ensure

Information about the Lead and Copper Rule:
The City of North Las Vegas water infrastructure does not contain lead service lines or other lead components. The state of Nevada and the EPA require public education for lead and copper, and the city monitors for both. Your water meets state and federal requirements for lead, but if present at elevated levels, lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The city is responsible for providing
If you are concerned about lead in your tap water, have your water tested by a private laboratory. For more information, call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline, (800)

The City’s drinking water meets or surpasses all state and federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards. Here is additional information to assist in reading this report:
- Read the table from left to right to learn which contaminants were found in the City’s water, how they are measured, their detected quantities and how those findings compare to state and federal limits. You’ll also see contaminants’ possible sources.
- The EPA requires water agencies to monitor for approximately 90 (primary) regulated contaminants. Federal standards usually measure contaminant levels in extremely tiny quantities such as parts per million (ppm or parts per billion (ppb). Even small concentrations of certain contaminants can be a health concern, which is why many regulatory standards are set at very low levels.
- This report shows results for the regulated contaminants detected in the City’s water supply. If a contaminant was not detected, it is not reported.
- EPA requirements for monitoring vary. The City monitors for each contaminant at required sites (treatment facilities, distribution system and/or groundwater wells) and reports those results to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP).

SNWA Information:
The Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) mission is to meet the needs of the region’s water agencies. The SNWA is responsible for drawing nearly all municipal water from Lake Mead, treating it to
managing conservation efforts. Each SNWA agency member is responsible for enforcing watering restrictions within its service area. To learn more, visit www.snwa.com.
Above and Beyond the Safe Drinking Water Act:
While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires water agencies to monitor for approximately 90 regulated
contaminants, the City goes above and beyond to monitor for about30additional,unregulatedcontaminants. Oneunregulated contaminant that is closely monitored is cryptosporidium.
This naturally occurring organism found in many U.S. source waters can cause gastrointestinal distress. The EPA now requires larger water systems that treat surface water to assure removal of cryptosporidium. The Southern Nevada Water System monitors and tests for cryptosporidium in both its source
and treated water supplies. Ozonation, used at our regional water treatment facilities, is among the most effective processes at destroying microorganisms such as cryptosporidium. The Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Microbiology Laboratory is among the few municipal facilities certified by the EPA for cryptosporidium and giardia detection.

Footnotes:
- Monitoring for each of the monitored contaminants in the UCMR 4 table was conducted to comply with the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 4 (UCMR 4) set by the U.S. EPA Safe Drinking Water Act. Per the rule, monitoring is conducted within the Distribution System and at entry points to the distribution system. Unregulated contaminant monitoring helps the U.S. EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether the Agency should consider regulating those contaminants in the future. With the exception of

(3) No collective MCLG but there are MCLGs for some of the individual contaminants. Haloacetic Acids: dichloroacetic acid (0), trichloroacetic acid (300 ppb).
Be Water Smart:
The City of North Las Vegas Utilities Department promotes “Water Smart” programs to encourage water conservation. In this dry desert environment, water is the most precious resource. Lake Mead is the main drinking water source for the Las Vegas Valley, and since January 2000, the surface elevation has decreased over 100 feet, which has reduced the storage capacity of Lake Mead to less than 50 percent.
Together we can learn to “Be Water Smart” and work to sustain our drinking water sources for the future. To conserve water, please adjust all irrigation clocks according to the days permitted in your assigned watering group. The assigned watering groups are mandatory for all water customers. Using sprinklers on days other than those assigned wastes water and could result in fines. Potential fines for homeowners start at $40 and double with each violation. Business fines start at $80 and double with each violation.

Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Turbidity: A measure of water clarity, which serves as an indicator of the treatment facility’s performance.
In addition to watering on your assigned days, keep the following in mind when setting a schedule on your irrigation clock:
- Sprinkler watering on Sundays is prohibited.
-
Landscape watering is prohibited from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from
May-September. Irrigate during the day from October to April to prevent water freezing on sidewalks. - Watering with a handheld hose and supervised testing of your irrigation system are allowed any time.
-
Watering new or reseeded landscapes daily for up to 30 days is allowed once per calendar year. Call (702)
633-1484 before the planting takes place, so the account can be noted. - Watering restrictions also apply to drip irrigation. While you may water any day of the week, watering may not exceed the maximum number of days per week allowed by the restrictions.
Experts agree that running drip irrigation less frequently is much better for plants than daily watering.
-
For lawns, use the cycle and soak method. On your assigned watering day(s), water in three (3)
4-minute cycles, with about an hour between each cycle if usingpop-up sprinklers. Water for about 12 minutes each watering cycle if using rotating sprinkler heads -
Draining a swimming pool or spa into the street, gutters or storm drains is prohibited. To properly drain your pool, attach your drainage hose to your sewer
clean-out pipe. Theclean-out pipe is usually located by the hose bib and may be located inside a green box.
To learn more about water conservation and tips for saving water, please visit the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) website at www.snwa.com.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination.

Fuente de agua:
El agua limpia comienza en la fuente. Más del 90 por ciento del agua suministrada a los clientes de North Las Vegas proviene del lago Mead. Prácticamente toda el agua en el lago Mead se origina como nieve derretida en las Montañas Rocosas que fluye por el río Colorado. La calidad del agua regional del Bajo Río Colorado se monitorea semanalmente en el Lago Mead para garantizar agua potable limpia y segura para el Valle de Las Vegas.
El resto del agua suministrada a los clientes proviene de pozos que extraen un acuífero subterráneo profundo debajo del valle. El agua subterránea se usa regularmente durante todo el año. Los clientes que viven en la parte oeste y noroeste de la ciudad tienen el potencial de recibir una mezcla de agua tratada del lago Mead y agua subterránea. El agua subterránea en el acuífero del Valle de Las Vegas se recarga naturalmente a partir de las precipitaciones en las Montañas Spring y la Cordillera de las Ovejas.
Evaluación de la fuente de agua:
La Ley Federal de Agua Potable Segura fue enmendada en 1996 y requiere que los estados desarrollen e implementen programas de evaluación de fuentes de agua, que analizan las amenazas existentes y potenciales a la calidad del agua potable pública en toda el área de servicio. El propósito de la protección del agua de origen es ayudar a evitar que los contaminantes entren en las fuentes de agua públicas.
Se puede acceder a un resumen de la susceptibilidad de North Las Vegas a los contaminantes en línea en:
www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/departments/utilities/, y se puede encontrar información adicional sobre el Programa de Evaluación de Fuentes de Agua de Nevada en www.ndep.nv. gov.
Contaminantes del agua de origen (sin tratar):
- Los contaminantes microbianos, como virus y bacterias, pueden provenir de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, sistemas sépticos, operaciones agrícolas y ganaderas y vida silvestre.
- Los contaminantes inorgánicos, como sales y metales, pueden ser de origen natural o resultar de la escorrentía de aguas pluviales urbanas, descargas de aguas residuales industriales o domésticas, producción de petróleo y gas, minería o agricultura.
2
- Los pesticidas y herbicidas pueden provenir de una variedad de fuentes, como la escorrentía de aguas pluviales, la agricultura y los usuarios residenciales.
- Los contaminantes orgánicos, incluidos los químicos orgánicos sintéticos y volátiles, que son subproductos de los procesos industriales y la producción de petróleo, también pueden provenir de estaciones de servicio, escorrentías de aguas pluviales urbanas y sistemas sépticos.
Para garantizar la seguridad del agua del grifo, la EPA prescribe reglamentos que limitan la cantidad de ciertos contaminantes en el agua proporcionada por los sistemas públicos de agua. Las regulaciones de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos establecen límites para los contaminantes en el agua embotellada, que deben brindar una protección similar para la salud pública. Para obtener más información sobre la calidad del agua embotellada, llame a la Asociación Internacional de Agua Embotellada al (800)
Información sobre la regla del plomo y el cobre:
La infraestructura de agua de la ciudad de North Las Vegas no contiene líneas de servicio de plomo ni otros componentes de plomo. El estado de Nevada y la EPA requieren educación pública sobre el plomo y el cobre, y la ciudad monitorea ambos. Su agua cumple con los requisitos estatales y federales de plomo, pero si está presente en niveles elevados, el plomo puede causar serios problemas de salud, especialmente para mujeres embarazadas y niños pequeños. El plomo en el agua potable proviene principalmente de materiales y componentes asociados con las líneas de servicio y la plomería del hogar. La ciudad es responsable de proporcionar agua potable de alta calidad, pero no puede controlar la variedad de materiales utilizados en los componentes de plomería de las viviendas. Es más probable que las casas construidas antes de 1986 tengan componentes de plomería a base de plomo. Cuando el agua haya estado reposando durante varias horas, minimice la posibilidad de exposición al plomo enjuagando el grifo durante 30 segundos a 2 minutos antes de usar agua para beber o cocinar.
Si le preocupa el plomo en el agua del grifo, haga que un laboratorio privado analice el agua. Para obtener más

Comprensión de los resultados de la prueba:
Este informe contiene los resultados del monitoreo de la calidad del agua realizado en 2020. La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (EPA) establece estándares nacionales para el agua del grifo para proteger la salud pública. La Ley de Agua Potable Segura requiere que las agencias de agua cumplan con estos estándares de agua basados en la salud y envíen a los clientes un informe anual sobre la calidad del agua.
El agua potable de la Ciudad cumple o supera todos los estándares estatales y federales de la Ley de Agua Potable Segura. Los siguientes son algunos datos adicionales para ayudar en la lectura de este informe:
- Lea la tabla de izquierda a derecha para saber qué contaminantesseencontraronenelaguadelaCiudad,cómo se miden, las cantidades detectadas y cómo se comparan esos hallazgos con los límites estatales y federales. También verá las posibles fuentes de los contaminantes.
- La EPA requiere que las agencias de agua monitoreen aproximadamente 90 contaminantes regulados (primarios). Los estándares federales generalmente miden los niveles de contaminantes en cantidades extremadamente pequeñas, como partes por millón o partes por mil millones. Incluso pequeñas concentraciones de ciertos componentes
pueden ser un problema de salud. Es por eso que muchos estándares regulatorios se establecen a niveles muy bajos.
• Este informe muestra los resultados de los contaminantes
regulados detectados en el suministro de agua de la Ciudad. Si no se detectó un contaminante, no se informa.
- Los requisitos de la EPA para el monitoreo varían. La Ciudad monitorea cada contaminante en los sitios requeridos (instalaciones de tratamiento, sistema de distribución y / o pozos de agua subterránea) e informa esos resultados a la División de Protección Ambiental de Nevada (NDEP).
Información de SNWA:
La misión de la Autoridad del Agua del Sur de Nevada (SNWA) es satisfacer las necesidades de las agencias de agua de la región. La SNWA es responsable de extraer casi toda el agua municipal del lago Mead, tratarla de acuerdo con los estándares de agua potable y entregarla a los miembros de la agencia de agua local, incluida la ciudad de North Las Vegas. El SNWA también es responsable de la planificación del agua a largo
plazo, que incluye el desarrollo de nuevas fuentes de agua y la gestión de los esfuerzos de conservación. Cada miembro de la agencia SNWA es responsable de hacer cumplir las restricciones de riego dentro de su área de servicio. Para obtener más información, visite www.snwa.com.
Más allá de la Ley de Agua Potable Segura:
Si bien la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA) requiere que las agencias de agua monitoreen aproximadamente 90 contaminantes regulados, la Ciudad va más allá para monitorear alrededor de 30 contaminantes adicionales no regulados. Un contaminante no regulado que se monitorea de cerca es el criptosporidio.

Ácidos haloacéticos: ácido dicloroacético (0), ácido tricloroacético (300 ppb).
Este organismo natural que se encuentra en muchas fuentes de agua de EE. UU. Puede causar malestar gastrointestinal. La EPA ahora requiere sistemas de agua más grandes que traten el agua superficial para asegurar la eliminación del criptosporidio. El Sistema de Agua del Sur de Nevada monitorea y prueba el criptosporidio tanto en su fuente como en los suministros de agua tratada. La ozonización, que se utiliza en nuestras dos instalaciones regionales de tratamiento de agua, es uno de los procesos más eficaces para destruir microorganismos como el criptosporidio. El Laboratorio de Microbiología de la Autoridad del Agua del Sur de Nevada se encuentra entre las pocas instalaciones municipales certificadas por la EPA para la detección de criptosporidios y giardia.

El Departamento de Servicios Públicos de la Ciudad de North Las Vegas promueve programas “Water Smart” para fomentar la conservación del agua. En este ambiente desértico seco, el agua es el recurso más preciado. El lago Mead es la principal fuente de agua potable del valle de Las Vegas y, desde enero de 2000, la elevación de la superficie ha disminuido más de 100 pies, lo que ha reducido la capacidad de almacenamiento del lago Mead a menos del 50 por ciento.
Nivel máximo de contaminante (MCL): el nivel más alto de un contaminante permitido en el agua potable. Los MCL se establecen lo más cerca posible de los MCLG utilizando la mejor tecnología de tratamiento disponible.
Objetivo de nivel máximo de contaminante (MCLG): El nivel de un contaminante en el agua potable por debajo del cual no hay ningún riesgo conocido o esperado para la salud. Los MCLG permiten un margen de seguridad.
Nivel máximo de desinfectante residual (MRDL): El nivel más alto de un desinfectante permitido en el agua potable. Existe evidencia convincente de que la adición de un desinfectante es necesaria para controlar los contaminantes microbianos.
Objetivo de nivel máximo de desinfectante residual (MRDLG): El nivel de un desinfectante de agua potable por debajo del cual no hay ningún riesgo conocido o esperado para la salud. Los MRDLG no reflejan los beneficios del uso de desinfectantes para controlar la contaminación microbiana.

Además de regar en los días asignados, tenga en cuenta lo siguiente al establecer un horario en su reloj de riego:
- Se prohíbe el riego por aspersión los domingos.
- El riego de jardines está prohibido de 11 a.m. a 7 p.m. de mayo a septiembre. Riegue durante el día de octubre a abril para evitar que el agua se congele en las aceras. .
- Se permite regar con una manguera de mano y realizar pruebas supervisadas de su sistema de riego en cualquier momento.
-
Se permite regar los jardines nuevos o resembrados diariamente hasta por 30 días una vez por año calendario. Llame al (702)
633-1484 antes de que se lleve a cabo la siembra, para que se pueda anotar la cuenta. - Las restricciones de riego también se aplican al riego por goteo. Si bien puede regar cualquier día de la semana, el riego no puede exceder el número máximo de días por semana permitido por las restricciones. Los expertos coinciden en que el riego por goteo con
menos frecuencia es mucho mejor para las plantas que el riego diario.
- Para céspedes, use el método de ciclo y remojo. En los días de riego asignados, riegue en tres (3) ciclos de 4 minutos, con aproximadamente una hora entre cada ciclo si usa aspersores emergentes. Riegue durante aproximadamente 12 minutos en cada ciclo de riego si utiliza aspersores giratorios.
- Está prohibido drenar una piscina o spa a la calle, alcantarillas o desagües pluviales. Para drenar correctamente su piscina, conecte su manguera de drenaje a su tubería de limpieza de alcantarillado. La tubería de limpieza generalmente se ubica junto al grifo de la manguera y puede ubicarse dentro de una caja verde.

North Las Vegas Tap Water
What should you look for in North Las Vegas tap water? There are a lot of companies in this part of the country that have all sorts of purifying systems and filters. Most of them are good, but some of them do not meet health standards, and some of them even have cancer-causing compounds. That is why it is important to get a water analysis from your local company.
The type of filter you choose should be able to trap chlorine, THMs, VOCs, lead, cysts, bacteria, parasites, radon, and all other carcinogens found in tap water. But it is more than that. All of these different types of chemicals can interact with one another and produce toxic gases. You will also find that many of them are estrogen disruptors.
So, what would happen if you drank water that had cysts in it? Do you know what cysts are? They are microscopic parasites that live in the human body. When the women in your area go through menopause, they may experience an increased risk of ovarian cancer. They are just like other toxins in your water. They can be removed with a great water filtration system.

North Las Vegas Water Contaminants
If you are considering buying a home in North Las Vegas, you may want to take the time to learn more about the drinking water contamination in and around the area. Since the 1950s, there have been numerous reports of contamination by various toxins from runoff from the Arsenic Springs and Spring Mountain lakes. These naturally occurring minerals have made their way into groundwater supplies that feed into the aquifer below them and contaminating the drinking water supply for hundreds of thousands of residents.
While no one living in North Las Vegas is likely to have problems with the quality of their tap water, there are precautions you can take to reduce your chances of becoming contaminated. Since it is in a high tourist area, many restaurants and hotels use this water in their dishes without filtering it or removing any chemicals that might be present. Unfortunately, since all of this water is used, it carries with it all of these toxins and chemicals which are then drawn into the groundwater sources below and throughout the entire region. This means that your drinking water is likely to contain much higher levels of toxins than you realize. If you are concerned about the health of your family, this is an important step to take.
Even though the waters in North Las Vegas are naturally clear, they still need to be filtered to remove any harmful contaminants before you and your loved ones can safely drink from them. There are several companies on the Strip that offer a variety of filtration systems, including portable showerheads, countertop or under-counter filters, and even whole house water purifiers that will eliminate all of the contaminants mentioned above and more. When you consider all of the benefits of having your own home filtration system, along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your family is protected from possible water contamination, it is obvious that investing in such a system is the best course of action.
North Las Vegas Water System
What would North Las Vegas be without its massive network of water pipes? For generations, this city has relied on this reliable source of clean water to help keep its residents healthy and well. While this has always been done responsibly, over the past decade or so there have been growing concerns about the quality of the water supply. This is where the Las Vegas water system really should be considered.
When the aqueducts were first put in place, they were built with beautiful concrete pump stations. Today, with all of the added engineering, pumping stations are replaced with the newer more efficient glass pumping stations that have a much lower impact on the environment. The new facility allows the city to better filter the water before it is allowed into homes. This filtering process not only improves the taste but reduces the amount of chloroform gas produced by the cooling system.
Most of the water that comes through the city of North Las Vegas is treated through reverse osmosis. This method of filtration reduces most of the naturally occurring substances that could cause illness. Chlorine and other volatile organic chemicals are greatly reduced and this allows the water to be far cleaner. With the EPA noting the vast improvements made to the drinking water in the area, it’s obvious that the quality of the water is up to par.

North Las Vegas Wastewater Treatment
If you own a business in North Las Vegas or are planning to build one, you need to know that the city’s sewer treatment plant is top-notch and can take care of your wastewater. Las Vegas is known for its excellent treatment facilities and they are among the best in the nation. They boast the ability to filter out smaller particles that can harm your drinking water. In addition to this, they also treat all of the wastewater that they receive, ensuring that it is safe to use.
If you are concerned about having raw sewage released into the environment, you should find out more about the treatment plant. It uses high-tech equipment to screen the discharged wastewater. The captured water is then sent on for further treatment to remove any harmful elements. In the process, they use highly advanced filtration and purification technologies to ensure that the water that is released back into the community is clean and healthy. In fact, the water is treated so well that some companies that provide water for other uses even add chlorine to the water in order to kill any bacteria or parasites in the water.
This is great news for people who are concerned about the quality of their water in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, because it happens so often in other cities, many people have no idea about the treatment facilities in their area. If you have questions about the quality of your tap water, you should call your local water department and ask for information. Most departments will be more than happy to tell you how well their treatment facilities are working, whether you should worry at all, and what you can do to improve the quality of your water. North Las Vegas wastewater treatment is something that all residents should be aware of.
North Las Vegas Safe Drinking Water Act
Last week, the city of North Las Vegas implemented a new law regarding public drinking water. It has made some people upset, but did the North Las Vegas Safe Drinking Water Act do its job? The North Las Vegas Safe Drinking Water Act covers a large area surrounding the Strip, including part of Henderson, and part of North Las Vegas. Although not immediately apparent, the inclusion of this large body of water in the area was intended to attract tourists. After all, who wouldn’t want to enjoy some refreshing water in a desert oasis?
Despite the introduction of this legislation, there is no evidence that shows a rise in drinking-related illnesses or diseases in the city. However, one thing is clear. The Strip is no longer a place where people can go to get a drink while drinking at home or on the go. The measures have been instated to increase safety, particularly for children and the elderly.
The new law allows anyone over the age of 21 to be in the drinking water area without obtaining a government-issued ID. Only five restaurants are allowed to be within the drinking water zones, and they are required to display a sign stating this. These five restaurants are The Cheesecake Factory, Cap n Jack’s, Waffle House, World Class Pizza, and California Pizza Kitchen. This does not mean that other places such as convenience stores and other dining places are excluded from the law. It simply means that those places have to state this on their sign or inform customers specifically in the area of the drinking water restrictions.
