Water Rates Up As SNWA Approves New Pumping Station

Rate payers will see an increase in their water bills after the Southern Nevada Water Authority agreed today to press ahead with a $650 million pumping station at Lake Mead. The increase for the average homeowner could be anywhere from $2.50 to $5 a month. Businesses will pay more. The SNWA says the new station will be insurance if the lake’s water level continues to drop.
