Southern Nevada water project urged to start hearings now
Sen. Howard Cannon urged immediate hearings on the $70 million Southern Nevada water supply project to meet rapid growth. He warned delays would hurt Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Nellis AFB, and El Dorado Valley as the area's population rose from 50,000 in 1950 to about 250,000 today. The plan would divert more Lake Mead water for municipal, industrial, and recreational use.
