Why These Restrictions Exist

Henderson has one of the highest per-capita incomes in Nevada, large homes with large landscapes make water conservation enforcement particularly important here.

This deficit has accumulated over the current water year and represents a significant departure from historical averages for the Henderson area. Water supply reservoirs and aquifer levels are well below seasonal targets, necessitating mandatory conservation measures.
