High Bill?

Sprinkler

Irrigation watering significantly impacts your water bill.

If your water bill is exceptionally and surprisingly high, you might want to use these tips to help you determine the cause before you give us a call.

Landscape Watering

Most significant increases in water use happen in the summer when you increase landscape watering. In fact, nearly 70 percent of your water use is outdoors especially in the summer if you're watering grass. Check out our landscape tips for warm weather to help you curb water use or consider removing grass and installing a water smart landscape. You may qualify for a rebate from the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

Do You Have a Leak?

Perhaps your bill increased suddenly even though you haven't changed your water use at home. You may have a leak. To learn how to check for a leak, see our Find a Leak section for information and a helpful video. If you do find a leak and your water bill was exceptionally high, you may qualify for our Leak Adjustment Program after you fix the leak.

Do You Have a Pool?

You can lose 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of water a year due to evaporation. Buy a pool cover and help reduce that water loss. The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) offers a Pool Cover Rebate program to help pay for the cover. If you're filling your pool several times a week, you may want to test for a leak. See the SNWA "bucket test" leak detection tips.
