Delivering quality, reliable drinking water to one of the world's most dynamic communities.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) is a not-for-profit agency that began providing water to the Las Vegas Valley in 1954. Today, the Water District delivers reliable, quality water—tested and treated in state-of-the-art facilities—to more than 1.5 million people in one of world's most dynamic communities.
In the 70 years since, change has been the only constant. The Water District has kept pace, building and responsibly maintaining the city's water delivery system and serving customers through periods of extraordinary growth and community development—using sustainable technologies such as solar power and alternative-fueled fleets to increase efficiencies and manage costs of water delivery in the desert.
In addition to a service area that includes metropolitan Las Vegas and areas of unincorporated Clark County, the LVVWD also serves the communities of Blue Diamond, Coyote Springs, Jean, Kyle Canyon, Laughlin (Big Bend Water District) and Searchlight.
The Clark County Commissioners serve as the LVVWD Board of Directors and also oversee the additional community water systems.
