All,

The Las Vegas Valley Water District just released a notice regarding Landscape Metering Requirements.

Please read the notice below for more information regarding the landscape metering requirements.

" Per Las Vegas Valley Water District (District) Service Rules Section 6.10(a) – It is the intent of the District to separately meter all services for each dwelling unit, public, quasi-public, commercial, or industrial occupancy. Interconnections are not allowed, which includes expansion of on-site systems to serve adjacent parcels. The District retains the right to determine the quality, quantity, type, size, or location of all such metered services and appurtenances.

Residential subdivisions with identified common lots, including but not limited to internal and perimeter landscape areas, shall be separately metered by an irrigation meter. The account for said irrigation meters will be in the name of the Homeowner Association (HOA), or a designated responsible party.

In the event that a residential subdivision, or minor subdivision, will not have an established HOA, and if the home builder proposes to have the landscape irrigated by the adjacent property’s water service, then the following conditions must apply:

• Civil site drawing depicting the parcels, the perimeter wall and the adjacent portions of the landscape that will be irrigated and maintained by the adjacent single family residential lot.
• Clearly call out that the landscape irrigation AND the landscape maintenance are the responsibility of the adjacent parcel.
• This site drawing must be uploaded to LVVWD prior to plan approval but does not need to be part of the official civil plan set approved by the agency having jurisdiction. This drawing will be used by LVVWD to communicate to LVVWD water customers the portion of the landscape area that is being served by their meter and is their responsibility to maintain. "

If you have any questions on the information above, please contact Nass Diallo at 702 259-8173 or nass.diallo@lvvwd.com.
