Why These Restrictions Exist
Boulder City sits at the entrance to Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Residents can see the effects of drought firsthand, the "bathtub ring" on Lake Mead's walls shows where the water level once stood. Conservation is deeply personal here.
This deficit has accumulated over the current water year and represents a significant departure from historical averages for the Boulder City area. Water supply reservoirs and aquifer levels are well below seasonal targets, necessitating mandatory conservation measures.
