Strengthening our wastewater system to serve the community today and for years to come.
After a thorough analysis, we found that improvements are necessary to meet long-term needs. Without expansion, portions of the current system are expected to reach capacity by 2030.
The complete program will be delivered in phases over the coming decades to meet the community's long-term needs. Phase 1 includes several major infrastructure projects that will expand system capacity and improve reliability.
Approximately one mile of new water main will be constructed along Airport Road to replace aging pipelines. This project will help improve system performance and reliability and support dependable water service for the community.
The installation of seven miles of pipeline that will carry wastewater from the northeast and eastern parts of the city to the Las Vegas Water Resource Recovery Facility.
The installation of four miles of pipeline that will carry future wastewater flow from the south to Sand Creek Lift Station[tooltip text="A lift station is a pumping system that moves wastewater from lower elevations to higher ones when gravity alone cannot do the job, keeping it flowing through the collection system to a treatment plant."] and then to the Las Vegas Water Resource Recovery Facility.
This new lift station and the installation of seven miles of force main will be added to pump wastewater to the Milton Proby Gravity Interceptor.
