At the Sept. 2 Clark County Planning Commission meeting, residents from southwest Las Vegas asked county staff to investigate apparent continuous water loss and irrigation overuse in several residential streets and at Mark L. Fine Elementary School.

Kenny Tabah and another speaker identified locations near Torrey Pines Drive and Cougar Avenue where standing or flowing irrigation water appeared to be wasting down streets and parking areas. The speakers said the leaks had persisted for approximately a month in some spots and requested the county coordinate with the Southern Nevada Water Authority and other departments to inspect and repair the sources. Planning commissioners and staff advised the residents the appropriate agency with a public complaint portal is the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and suggested staff would relay the submitted photos and reports to district contacts.

No formal land-use action was taken; the presentation was recorded as public comment. Staff encouraged residents to file a formal water waste complaint through SNWA’s online reporting tools so inspectors can respond and cited existing enforcement and outreach programs for water-waste violations.
