When you sign up for water service with the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD), you agree to abide by our Service Rules, which are a contract between the district and its customers. Wasting water is a violation of the Service Rules.
What is water waste?
Water waste is defined by the Service Rules as:
- Any Water District water you allow to flow or spray off your
property
- Using sprinklers between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. from May 1 until
Sept. 30
- Failure to repair a malfunctioning device or supply line for
more than 48 hours
- Discharging swimming pool or spa water off the property where
discharge into a public sanitary sewer is available
- Non-compliance with watering group assignments as part of the
drought watering schedule
- Non-compliance with regulations related to washing vehicles,
equipment, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, streets or other
surfaces or objects
- Non-compliance with regulations relating to ornamental water
features and misting systems

What
we do about water wasters
If the Water District notifies you of water waste, you are given the opportunity to fix the problem. If you continue to waste water, you will receive a fee on your water bill. Fees vary
depending on meter size, the account's history of violations and
the drought stage.
Customers may protest fees and request a hearing
from an outside source. First-time fees can be rebated for those
who attend a water-efficiency class.
