More than 100 wells are monitored through the District's administration
of the Safe Drinking Water Act (15 or more connections or serving
25 or more individuals).
Operators are trained how to take bacteriological
samples and how to detect any cross contamination between sewer and
water systems. Contamination of water systems is guarded against through
control of illegal waste water dumping, in cooperation with Clark
County Sanitation District.
Most public drinking water in Clark County
comes from Lake Mead and is provided by several public water companies.
These water systems are monitored and licensed by the
Nevada State Health Division (775) 687-6615). |
