FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Las Vegas Decides to Ease Restrictions on Non-Essential Businesses
After careful consideration, the City of Las Vegas will be easing restrictions on non-essential businesses except for car washes and laundromats which will remain closed.
All other non-essential businesses MAY REOPEN with the following conditions:
• Restaurants will be required to use paper plates, cups and plastic ware to avoid dishwashing.
• Water should be served to guests only upon request. We encourage the use of bottled water.
We are asking residents to still abide to the following to maintain water conservation:
• Limit shower times.
• Toilets should only be flushed only when absolutely necessary.
• Strictly limit the use of dishwashers, washing machines and other high-water usage appliances.
• Do not fill up bathtubs, large containers or swimming pools.
• No outdoor watering with potable water.
• Do not fill up recreational vehicles (RVs) with water.
• No RV dumping due to high-water usage.
• Hotels and motels must institute linen and towel reuse with customers staying multiple nights.
All residents and businesses must continue to conserve water so we can sustain all non-essential business operations and avoid reverting back to a closed state. It is crucial that water usage not be abused or stockpiled beyond need. We are also working to organize a bulk water distribution to help alleviate additional pressure on our water reserves. All water consumption will be monitored. Water users with high usage may be issued a citation, receive fines or water service shut-off for non-compliance per Ordinance 440-26 Water Conservation.
We thank you all for being patient as we navigate through this challenging time
