Watering rules
According to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the Colorado River system, which supplies Clark County with nearly 90 percent of its water, is facing the biggest drought on record. As a result, Lake Mead’s water level has dropped approximately 100 feet since January 2000. In response, the SNWA issued mandatory watering restrictions for all customers.
Each residence is assigned a group with specific watering days. Individuals can find their watering group by visiting SNWA.com. During the spring and fall seasons, each group is assigned three different days on which they can water their yards three times a day for four minutes, with an hour separating each watering session. This ‘cycle and soak’ method applies to standard sprinklers, as well as drip irrigation systems. During winter, groups are assigned only one watering day. In summer, groups can water any day of the week.
For all groups, sprinkler watering is prohibited between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. from May 1 to Oct. 1. During the summer months, sprinkler watering is optional for all groups on Sunday. However, from Sept. 1 through April 30, sprinkler watering is prohibited on Sundays. Some exemptions are made, including hand-watering, supervised testing of sprinkler systems, watering new or reseeded landscapes for 30 days. Customers are urged to call their individual SNWA water provider to check for area-specific exemptions.
Households found watering on unassigned days will be informed and given time to correct the problem. If water waste continues, the individual SNWA agency providing water to the household may charge a water waste fee to the customer’s bill or issue a citation requiring a court appearance.
