Las Vegas Wins with Concrete
Pressure Pipe |
Lake Mead, approximately 50 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, is the
main source of fresh water to Las Vegas Valley, and one of the world’s
largest subaqueous pressure pipelines was installed under Lake Mead’s
Boulder Harbor. The original intake structure, Intake No 1, which
was built by the Bureau of Reclamation, and the associated water
supply system, has been supplying water to the Valley since the
early 1960’s. The demand for water in Las Vegas has been growing
due to tourism expansion and 7% annual residential growth rate.
To meet the increased water supply demand, the Southern Nevada Water
Authority (SNWA) has embarked on a 2 billion dollars capital improvement
plan to expand the existing 400-mgd water supply system. The expansion
includes the Lake Mead Intake No. 2 Project, which runs parallel
to the original intake.
