The Las Vegas Valley Water District is reporting today that over the past two weeks, its customers used 574 million gallons less water compared to the same two week period last year. We have the recent rain to thank for the drop in consumption (and all of you who turned off your irrigation systems during the rains). Even with the rain, July’s total was below number, as measured by the National Weather Service. For the month, we officially received .29 inches of rain, .15 below the norm of .44 inches
