Infrastructure & Utilities
Your utilities & infrastructure
Who provides your energy, water, and internet in Las Vegas / Clark County — who regulates them — and how Nevada's infrastructure grades. Every figure is sourced and dated.
Scope: the providers below serve Las Vegas / Clark County, NV. The internet list is a starting point, not every option in your area. The report-card grades further down are statewide (the ASCE's professional assessment of Nevada) — not a Clark-County-specific grade.
Who provides your utilities
Your energy, water, and internet providers — with each one's official site and, where one applies, the public body that regulates it.

Regulator

Regulates Nevada's investor-owned utilities (electric, gas, telecom) — sets rates & oversees service.
Water

The not-for-profit government water utility delivering drinking water to most of the Las Vegas valley since 1954. Serves more than one million people in Southern Nevada.

A public / government agency — it is not an investor-owned utility, so the PUCN does not set its rates.
Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA)
The regional water-resources agency (formed 1991) that secures and manages Southern Nevada's water supply — including the Colorado River / Lake Mead allocation — for its member agencies, with LVVWD as operating agent.

Coming later: per-utility rates and performance — PUCN rate-case outcomes, audit findings, and reliability data. We don't have those wired yet, and we won't fabricate them. For now this surface is who provides your utilities, their regulator, and Nevada's published infrastructure grades.
Civic Hub is non-partisan: party is shown as a neutral label, every figure is sourced and dated, and we never assert causation from correlation. We surface the record; you draw the conclusions.
