The primary source of water for the Las Vegas region is the Colorado River. The city plays a crucial role in the conservation and management of the water supply for its residents and businesses by supporting regional management efforts by the Southern Nevada Water Authority. Since 2008, the city has reduced its water consumption from 1.47 billion gallons to 1.18 billion gallons in 2016. These savings were achieved through the replacement of more than 40-acres of grass with synthetic turf at city sports fields and parks. City landscaping utilizes drought tolerant plants and public art. More than 75 million gallons of water per day have been recycled at the city’s wastewater treatment plants and used at golf courses around the valley or returned to Lake Mead.
In the community, water use has declined from approximately 350 gallons per person per day (GPCD) in 1990 to less than 220 GPCD today. Southern Nevada will soon surpass the region’s 2035 goal to reduce consumption through conservation to 199 GPCD. Overall Colorado River water consumption has decreased 40 billion gallons despite an increase of 500,000 residents over the last decade and more than 40 million visitors annually..
Through a Renewable Energy Agreement with the state’s investor-owned utility NV Energy, the city of Las Vegas receives 100 percent of the energy it needs from renewable sources:
The city has invested $70 million in renewable energy and energy efficiency upgrades:
The city develops plans for alternative transportation, includes development standards for streets, bike lanes, and paths, and adopts and enforces other plans, codes, and land use policies to help reduce sprawl, provide a diverse mix of land uses preserve open space, ensure good air quality, and create compact, walkable communities.
The city works closely with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada to plan, construct, and maintain transportation networks in the region, including complete streets that allow for multiple modes of transportation. In addition to RTC Transit that provides bus service to more than 66 million passengers on 40 routes annually, the city has improved bicycle and pedestrian networks, including 450 miles of bike lanes and 100 miles of trails and paths. As a result of these efforts, the city was recognized as a Bronze-rated Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Cyclists.
Nearly 100 percent of the city’s vehicle fleet runs on alternative fuels. In addition to its hybrids, the city was Nevada’s first public agency to purchase electric vehicles. The city also installed charging stations at seven garages, community centers and facilities for general public use, including City Hall and the Development Services Center.
