Long Range Water Resource Plan
Water is a scarce commodity in the Virgin River watershed and Nevada is particularly short on this natural resource. Water conservation is everyone's responsibility and is an 'everyday' way of life in the High Desert Country. Common sense is usually the best rule to follow. The water that is used carelessly is depriving someone else of this valuable resource. Water is not only vital for human habitation but also for the wildlife in our area. They too should be considered in any water conservation plan.
It is the intent of this Water Conservation Plan to insure an adequate supply of water to each homeowner within the Virgin Valley Water District with sufficient water to meet the needs of domestic demand; for the enjoyment of well-groomed landscaping and to allow adequate water resources for the Virgin Valley desert fauna and flora.
This Water Conservation Plan was originally prepared in compliance with the provision of NRS 540.141 and is hereby revised per NAC 540.13 1.4(c). It is intended that the plan be enforced at all times, whether under drought conditions or during years of sufficient precipitation.
Ensuring that your landscaper and other venders you may work with follow the planting guidelines and other requirements will guarantee that we are in compliance with all laws and that our conservation goals will be met.
