The Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD) was featured in an article/video, Nevadans at Work: Water reclamation in Nevada, by the Nevada Independent on July 5, 2020. Click here watch the short video, where CCWRD Operator Gilbert Cruz walks us through the treatment plant processes at the Flamingo Water Resource Center (FWRC)!  At FWRC, CCWRD meets or surpasses requirements of their permit, and returns the highest quality reuse water to the environment (Lake Mead) and also conveys reuse water to various reuse customers throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
