Clean Water : A Community Investment

The Clark County Water Reclamation District plays an important part in the water cycle by collecting, treating, reclaiming and returning millions of gallons of cleaned water back into the Colorado River through Lake Mead.

Knowledge of the water cycle in Southern Nevada requires an understanding of the entire water supply picture, including the treatment and reclamation of wastewater.

By doing our job each day, the Clark County Water Reclamation District's "Clean Water Team" helps to preserve a limited resource -water- and protect the environment in the Las Vegas Wash, Lake Mead and the Colorado River.
