Water Pressure

Operating water pressure within the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) distribution system can range from about 30 pounds per square inch (psi) to 100 psi.

Pressure within the system varies depending on the elevation of your property in relation to the elevation of the reservoir that provides water service for your area. Peak water use and routine water system operations also can cause water pressure in the distribution system to fluctuate.

The Water District cannot adjust the water pressure for specific properties; however, if you have concerns with high pressure or low pressure, there are some steps you can take that may help resolve the issue.

Most home improvement stores sell inexpensive water pressure gages that can be simply attached to your outside faucet or hose bib. This will be useful when trying to determine the on-site water pressure at your property.
