Water Rates
Las Vegas Valley Water District water rates are based on a four-tier system to encourage conservation. The first tier represents indoor usage for most residential customers. The rate for the remaining tiers becomes increasingly higher.
Thresholds mark the level of usage where one tier ends and another begins. Your property's usage thresholds are based on meter size.

The Water District is a non-profit organization. Our water rates are regulated by law and can cover only the costs of water delivery and the maintenance and building of facilities.
Threshold
Water usage is billed at different rates depending on the amount of water used. The threshold is the point in usage when the water rate changes. Threshold levels are lowest for 5/8" meters and increase as meter size increases. Thresholds are computed based on a daily threshold amount and the number of days in the billing cycle. Your bill shows how much water you used in thousands of gallons for each threshold rate.
Usage
Your meter records your water usage in thousands of gallons. Your bill shows usage in thousands of gallons.
Meter Exchange and Dial Exchange
From time to time, we exchange the meters or meter dials due to malfunction or wear. If your bill shows exchange or reset, it means the old meter or the meter dial was replaced during the billing period.
