Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) passed her bill to allow the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to construct a new water pipeline to provide water delivery redundancy for over one million Nevadans. The Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Water Pipeline Act would dramatically improve the reliability of Las Vegas’s water system and protect residents from outages, while safeguarding ecosystems in Sloan Canyon. The bill also expands the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA) by nearly 9,300 acres – increasing its size by nearly 20 percent.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority proposed project improves the redundancy, reliability, and flexibility of water delivery to the City of Henderson and the southern Las Vegas Valley.
The project includes individual transmission and storage projects for nearly a million existing customers while allowing flexibility to meet Southern Nevada’s future water demands.
