Las Vegas’ September 16 notice put its next sewer-service increase at 8.2%, effective January 1, 2027: $7.52 more quarterly for a single-family home without a pool. It combined a five-year CPI average with a four-point infrastructure addition adopted in 2022. Connection fees were separate; qualifying owners could receive a 20% annual service-fee rebate. [1]

EPA’s June 2023 account of an agreement with the city identifies the treatment plants’ receiving water as Las Vegas Wash. It describes requirements for a local-limits study, a revised sewer-use ordinance and industrial-user discharge permits. These were 2023 requirements; that notice does not establish subsequent compliance. [2]

The city’s undated Environmental Division guide lists the Water Pollution Control Facility among its treatment plants. It directs wastewater-discharge permit inquiries to Environmental Compliance and Enforcement. Treatment service and industrial-discharge permissions are distinct tasks. [3]
