Legislation to enhance water security for Southern Nevada
On Sept. 3, 2026, Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01) introduced the Southern Nevada Wastewater Infrastructure Lands Act. This legislation would enhance water security for Southern Nevada by conveying approximately 250 acres of federal land underlying the Flamingo Water Resource and Desert Breeze Centers to the Clark County Water Reclamation District.
“This legislation helps enhance reliability of the operations at our facilities and enables us to responsibly plan for the future while continuing to provide essential wastewater services to the residents, businesses and visitors who depend on them every day,” said Tom Minwegen, General Manager of Clark County Water Reclamation District. “This is a practical, forward-looking solution that supports the long-term reliability of Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.”
“By giving the Clark County Water Reclamation District flexibility to adapt the sites of the Flamingo Water Resource and Desert Breeze Centers, I am ensuring they are able to continue providing reliable wastewater services to the more than 265,000 customers and 40 million annual visitors who depend on them,” said Titus.
