The Las Vegas Valley Water District is a not-for-profit agency that began providing water to the Las Vegas Valley in 1954. The district helped build the city's water delivery system and now provides water to more than one million people in Southern Nevada. The Las Vegas Valley Water District also services the outlying areas of:
- Big Bend Water District (Laughlin, Nev.)
- Blue Diamond
- Coyote Springs
- Searchlight
- Kyle Canyon
- Jean
The Clark County Commissioners serve as the Water District's board of directors. The board appoints the general manager, who carries out day-to-day activities.
District water rates are regulated by law to cover the costs of water delivery and the maintenance and building of facilities. Rates are structured into four tiers to encourage conservation—the more water a customer uses, the more the customer pays.
LVVWD goals include:
- Continuously improve customer satisfaction
- Achieve customer supported water quality goals
- Build and operate necessary facilities to treat and deliver water
- Achieve regionally supported water conservation goals
- Ensure adequate water resources to meet community needs reliably
- Employ sustainability concepts in all areas
- Continuously ensure organizational efficiency and effectiveness to achieve rate stability and customer value
- Participate in and work to influence all strategies, issues and concerns that affect the water quality and water resources of Southern Nevada
- Enhance and expand communication and collaboration within and among member agencies and the Southern Nevada Water Authority
