Campaign aims to dispel common myths about water use in Las Vegas
As soon as the U.S. Department of the Interior last month announced that Nevada would lose 8% of its water allotment from the Colorado River next year amid the continuing drought, officials with the Southern Nevada Water Authority started fielding questions from concerned residents. And with those questions came some inaccurate finger-pointing about the water situation — namely that California is using our water; same with casinos on the resort corridor. The authority last week, in an ongoing video series to bring educational awareness for conservation, addressed those concerns. It’s one of about 12 videos it has done in recent years, stressing that the water supply here — especially with continued conservation — is secure.
