Who We Are

History

The Clean Water Coalition (CWC) was formed as a joint powers authority under NRS 277 in November 2002.  Members of the CWC include:

  • Clark County Water Reclamation District
  • City of Las Vegas
  • City of Henderson
  • City of North Las Vegas

These agencies have worked together for many years on a variety of projects, including planning, engineering studies and environmental monitoring. The purpose of the CWC is to carry out the Systems Conveyance and Operations Program (SCOP).  SCOP encompasses the planning, design, financing, construction, and operation and maintenance of a regional system that transports highly treated wastewater effluent from the facilities of the member agencies to the ultimate outfall location within the Colorado River system.

Clark County Water Reclamation District
