Warning About Door-to-Door Water Filter Sales
The Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) is issuing a warning to customers and residents about suspicious activities involving individuals going door-to-door, claiming to represent the “Water Department” and asking to enter customer homes to test water and install water filtration systems for a fee.
The individuals knock on doors and claim that they need to test the water inside the home for the presence of chemicals. The individuals use false claims about water contamination and other scare tactics to pressure homeowners into allowing them to enter the home and install filtration systems.
These individuals are not LVVWD employees, and the public should exercise caution if someone claims to be with a water company or water department and asks permission to enter the home.
LVVWD employees will NEVER request access to customer homes, nor will they request or collect payment in person.
To identify LVVWD employees, look for the following:
- The LVVWD’s blue-and-yellow logo on all official vehicles.
- Employees all wear an LVVWD-issued badge with a photo, company logo and employee number.
- LVVWD employees generally wear bright green or orange shirts. Sometimes they wear blue work shirts with the logo and name patch.
