Nevada Water Authority OKs $3B Plan, Increased Water Bills

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Southern Nevada Water Authority has unanimously approved an infrastructure plan over $3 billion that will bring higher water bills for customers.

Water costs will increase in 2022 and continue to rise over a six-year period.

A typical single-family home in the Las Vegas area can expect to pay roughly $10 more per month in 2027 for water than they do in 2020.

The state said it plans on paying the $3 billion with loans. The approval includes plans to build a pipeline that will carry water to and from Apex Industrial Park by 2028.
