From Your Shower to Lake Mead to Your Faucet: Why Las Vegas Homeowners Are Taking a Closer Look at Their Water

LAS VEGAS - EntSun -- Southern Nevada has developed one of the nation's most advanced municipal water-recycling systems. Water used indoors, including water from showers, sinks, and washing machines, enters the municipal sewer system and is highly treated before being returned to the Colorado River through the Las Vegas Wash and into Lake Mead. That returned water earns Southern Nevada return-flow credits, helping the region stretch its limited Colorado River water supply.

For Las Vegas homeowners, however, the story does not end at the treatment plant.

Municipal drinking water delivered to Southern Nevada homes meets or surpasses federal drinking-water standards and is extensively monitored. Yet safe drinking water does not necessarily mean homeowners will love the water coming from their faucets. Hardness, mineral deposits, chlorine taste and odor, and other aesthetic water-quality concerns can still affect the daily experience inside a home.

That distinction is becoming increasingly important for homeowners who want greater control over the water they use for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and protecting household fixtures.

"Homeowners should not have to choose between trusting their municipal water supply and wanting better water in their home," said a representative of Soft Water Nevada. "The municipal system is designed to deliver safe drinking water. Our role is to help homeowners address the specific water problems they experience after that water reaches their property."

For homeowners, the symptoms can be familiar:

White mineral scale around faucets and showerheads
Spots on dishes and glassware
Soap that does not lather easily
Dry-feeling skin and hair
Mineral buildup affecting fixtures and appliances
Chlorine taste or odor in drinking water
Concerns about the quality and taste of water used for cooking and drinking

Soft Water Nevada provides a free, no-obligation water analysis and consultation, allowing homeowners to better understand their home's water before selecting a treatment system.
