Clock is Ticking on Las Vegas' Water Supply
So, all those new gated communities in the Vegas area are looking at a water shortage coming down the pike. This is what happens when people (over)build the nation's fastest growing metro area in a desert. As Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!" Maybe somebody should turn off that hourly water show at the mega-fountain outside the Bellagio.

The news coming from the Southern Nevada Water Authority Thursday about the valley's future water supply is worrisome. Unless we act quickly, there will be no water for hundreds of thousands of Las Vegas Valley residents in just three years.
