Saving Water: It’s Everybody’s Business
City of Henderson • July 1, 2024
Conserving water in Southern Nevada is a team effort, as residents, multi-family property owners, homeowner's associations, and municipalities alike seek the same bottom line: making sure we all have a reliable water supply as climate change-fueled drought continues to impact the Colorado River Basin and Lake Mead—the source of 90 percent of our supply.
Business owners also play a critical role in conserving our most precious resource and have been a driving force in the success our community has experienced. In 2023, the City of Henderson had an annual reduction in consumptive water use of 5.85%. We’ve accomplished this through numerous comprehensive conservation programs in partnership with the Southern Nevada Water Authority, including:
- Water Efficient Technologies (WET), which offers financial incentives to commercial and multifamily property owners who install water-efficient devices and technologies.
- As part of the WET program, businesses can receive up to 50% in rebates from the SNWA by replacing their existing cooling tower or swamp coolers with a dry-cooled system that could save millions of gallons of water per year.
- Water Smart Landscapes, offering businesses, HOAs, and multifamily properties a cash rebate of $3 per square foot to convert water-thirsty grass to desert landscaping. (Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, the rebate will decrease to $2 per square foot.) Nevada law essentially requires that all decorative grass at commercial, HOA and multi-family properties be replaced by the end of 2026.
Through these and many other programs, the City of Henderson has achieved reductions in potable water use with the permanent adoption of the City’s water conservation regulations and enforcement practices. And while the “bathtub ring” at Lake Mead reminds us that further conservation is needed to achieve long-term goals, the City is committed to ongoing conservation efforts to help the overall region reduce water consumption. Thanks, Henderson! Let’s continue to keep water conservation top of mind.

Quick Summary Online banking security is crucial as cyber threats grow. Top threats include spoofing, malware, public Wi-Fi risks, and weak passwords. CCCU shares essential tips on how to protect your finances. In today’s fast-paced digital world, online banking security is more important than ever. While digital banking offers unmatched convenience, staying vigilant ensures a safe and secure banking experience. Here are the top four online banking security threats and tips to avoid them: 1. Spoofing Scams Spoofing happens when fraudsters manipulate caller IDs, email addresses, or websites to appear as legitimate companies. Their goal is to steal your bank information by asking you to click links or answer questions pertaining to your bank account or login credentials. Tip: If in doubt, directly reach out to your financial institution using their official contact details. 2. Malware and Viruses Malware can infect devices, putting your personal and financial data at risk. Cybercriminals often use malicious software to steal banking details and exploit sensitive data for their own gain. Tip: Regularly update your devices and install trusted antivirus and anti-malware software. Older devices may not accept current updates, making them a risk. 3. Public Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, making it easy for hackers to intercept data. Tip: Never access your online banking account on public Wi-Fi. Use a secure, private network or a virtual private network (VPN). 4. Weak or Reused Passwords Using simple or reused passwords increases the risk of unauthorized access to personal and financial accounts. Tip: Create strong, unique passwords for each account. Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Additional Safety Tips: Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for extra security. Download banking apps from verified sources only. Monitor your accounts regularly for suspicious activity and set up account alerts. Log out after every session, especially on shared devices. Conclusion Protecting your online banking security starts with staying informed and proactive. Remember that knowledge is key to safeguarding your finances, so always verify unexpected messages or calls and think twice before clicking any links.
