The Engineering Services Division is comprised of four (4) sections:
Development Services
The Development Services section is responsible for the processing of utility plans and technical studies to ensure conformance with applicable design standards, codes and service rules. This section also administers the SNWA well conversion program.
Mapping / GIS Information
The Mapping / GIS Information section is responsible for facility mapping and maintaining utility plan and as-built drawing archives.
Resource/Facility Planning
The Resource/Facility Planning section ensures that City facilities for water and wastewater are identified and planned to maintain existing service levels and to meet future needs. This section is also responsible for maintaining the City's groundwater well permits and for permitting and reporting of the City's aquifer storage (recharge) program activities.
Water (Sources) -
Customers in the North Las Vegas water service area receive their water from two sources, groundwater, which is pumped from the deep carbonate aquifer at various wells throughout the City, or surface water, from the Colorado River at Lake Mead. In 2011, the City delivered 46,281 acre-feet (1 acre-foot = 325,851 gallons) of water to customers. Approximately 2.5% of the water delivered was groundwater, and the remaining 97.5% was Colorado River water.
Wells (City) -
The City of North Las Vegas owns and operates both production wells and aquifer recharge wells. The City currently has five (5) production wells, which are used primarily during the summer months to help meet peak demands. The City has an annual production (pumping) right of 5,711 acre-feet.
The City established an "artificial recharge" program in 1990. Four (4) recharge wells are used to inject treated Colorado River water, when available, during off-peak winter months. This water is banked in the valley's groundwater system and has improved groundwater levels and also serves to augment groundwater resources for future needs.
Wells (Private) -
Private Wells are under the jurisdiction of:
Nevada State Engineer, Division of Water Resources.
Carson City Office: Phone (775) 684-2800
Las Vegas Office: Phone (702) 486-2770
