The Kyle Canyon Water District (KCWD) is a publicly-owned, quasi-municipal political subdivision created by Clark County in December 1973.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District operates and maintains the Kyle Canyon Water District, which supplies water to the Kyle Canyon community.
Kyle Canyon water comes from four wells:
Echo Well No. 3 is the primary drinking-water well serving the Echo View neighborhood and the Echo View Reservoir. It also supplements water needs in Rainbow, Cathedral Rock and the Old Town subdivisions.
The Rainbow Well serves the lower subdivisions and receives supplemental water flows from the Echo Wells when demand is high and it cannot replenish naturally its supply. This usually occurs in the summer.
Due to elevation differences, water from the Echo Wells and reservoir can be gravity fed to serve downhill customers. However, water from the Rainbow Well cannot be moved the nearly 200 feet uphill to the Echo View neighborhood.
