Water Waste Ordinances

Water use in the Las Vegas Valley Water District's service area is governed by the Water District's Service Rules. Many of the regulations in the Service Rules are supported by city and county ordinances as shown below. In addition, Clark County and the City of Las Vegas have developed codes specifying landscaping requirements for new developments and turf limitations.

In the event that a city or county ordinance overlaps or contradicts regulations in the Service Rules, the Service Rules will have precedence within the district's service area.

For more information about the Water District's drought measures, see the Drought Restrictions section.
