A Las Vegas attorney said he plans to add hundreds of plaintiffs to his lawsuit agains the Southern Nevada Water Authority, and he asked a judge on Thursday to consider protecting their identities. … At issue in the case is the water authority’s enforcement of a 2021 law that will make it illegal at the beginning of next year to use water from the Colorado River to irrigate “useless grass,” or grass that an expert committee has deemed nonfunctional. It was another packed courtroom Thursday, when District Judge Anna Albertson called attorneys back to discuss the terms of a limited restraining order that normally can last up to two weeks.
