  • SUSTAINABLE WATER RECYCLING: Don't be a pain in the drain

    SUSTAINABLE WATER RECYCLING: Don't be a pain in the drain
    Nov 17 2025

    You probably never think about what happens when you flush the toilet, but a team of dedicated staff at the Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD) make it their business to ensure our wastewater is treated and returned to Lake Mead. Southern Nevada recycles 100 percent of the water that goes down the drain or toilet. For every gallon of water returned to the lake, Southern Nevada can withdraw another gallon, helping stretch our limited water supply. CCWRD’s Bud Cranor talks about the CCWRD’s important-albeit smelly-job of ensuring they squeeze and clean every drop of water they collect from the valley’s sanitary sewer on the Water Smarts Podcast, “SUSTAINABLE WATER RECYCLING: Don’t be a Pain in the Drain.”

    ON THE COLORADO: SNWA's John Entsminger talks about ongoing collaboration between Colorado River water users and Southern Nevada's water future
    Oct 8 2025

    Southern Nevada relies on the Colorado River for 90 percent of its water supply, yet we receive the smallest share of the river. SNWA General Manager John Entsminger shares why ongoing collaboration between Colorado River water users is imperative to respond to climate change and aridification. John also talks about why Southern Nevada is one of the most water secure Colorado River Basin states, what future water sources the agency is considering, and how the community has helped protect its water supply.
