Surprised nobody is talking about the fact Las Vegas is going to cut water off

Sweeping powers to limit residential water use are part of legislation introduced last week in Carson City.

As Lake Mead continues to shrink and the ominous “bathtub ring” just gets bigger, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) could get the authority to limit how much water residents can use. It’s one of many powers proposed under Assembly Bill 220 (AB220).

The formal legalese in the bottom half of the 2,723-word “digest” of AB220 says:

“Section 27 of this bill authorizes the Board of Directors of the Authority to restrict the use of water by a single-family residence to not more than 0.5 acre-feet of water during any year in which a shortage on the Colorado River has been declared by the Federal Government.”
