Attention City of Las Vegas Residents: We’re committed to ensuring reliable services for our community. To achieve this, we want to inform you about an important update.
Effective Wednesday, June 24, 2026 the City of Las Vegas will enter water conservation Stage II which includes the following:
•Irrigation. Irrigation shall be permitted on the following days and addresses:
•Mondays and Fridays at locations with even-numbered street addresses.
•Tuesdays and Saturdays at locations with odd-numbered addresses.
•Irrigation shall be permitted during the early morning from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. or late evening from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
•Vehicle washing. No City-provided water shall be used to wash automobiles except at places of business whose services include the washing of cars, where high-pressure wash is utilized either by self-service or fully automated process, or car dealerships which utilize high-pressure wash equipment. Further, such washing is exempt from these regulations where the health, safety and welfare of the public is contingent upon frequent vehicle cleanings, such as refuse collection trucks and vehicles used to transport food and perishables and businesses with recycling systems. Based on administrative approval, the City will encourage the use of recycling systems and other conservation techniques available to the industry by offering such incentives as it deems appropriate. Businesses, whose services include the washing of automobiles, shall not be allowed to use City-provided water for washing of automobiles on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Use of recycled water is permitted any day of the week.
•Swimming pools. Swimming pools and spas/hot tubs filled prior to the implementation of Stage I and utilizing treated water shall not add water to make up losses through evaporation or splashing, through draining or through leaks in pools and spas/hot tubs while Stage I is in effect with the exception of any municipally or Highlands University owned covered (enclosed) swimming pool(s).
•Eating establishments. All restaurants are prohibited from serving water to their customers except when specifically requested by the customers.
•Ornamental fountains. Ornamental fountains may operate if they recirculate water but not during windy periods. Ornamental fountains that do not recirculate water are prohibited.
•Fire hydrants. Use of water from fire hydrants shall be limited to fire fighting, related activities or other activities necessary to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens served by the municipal water system. Metered use of hydrants may be allowed at the Utility Director’s discretion.
•These restrictions shall not apply to any properly licensed person, firm, or corporation engaging in the business of growing or selling plants.
