Las Vegas Valley Water District enforces an assigned watering-day schedule and bans daytime sprinkler use during summer months to conserve scarce Colorado River water supplies.
LVVWD assigns each address a mandatory watering group based on street address, limiting sprinkler use to specific weekdays. From May through August no sprinklers may run between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday watering is prohibited year-round. Winter watering (November-February) is restricted to one day per week. The Southern Nevada Water Authority enforces these caps regionally because Lake Mead is at historic lows. Drip irrigation is allowed any day. Water Waste Investigators patrol neighborhoods and respond to citizen reports submitted through snwa.com.
First-time water waste fines start at $80 and escalate to $160, $320, and $640 for repeat offenses within twelve months. Commercial properties face higher tiers.
