The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) has approved $227 million in construction contracts to advance the Garnet Valley Water and Wastewater Systems, which will serve the Apex Industrial Complex in North Las Vegas. The project, launched in 2024, aims to establish water delivery and wastewater return systems for one of Southern Nevada’s largest industrial developments.
The contracts cover multiple components, including a transmission pipeline to deliver water from the Las Vegas Valley to Apex and a parallel wastewater system to return used water for treatment and reuse. Crews will install sewer infrastructure and associated facilities to support the development’s long-term water demands.
SNWA is coordinating the project with the City of North Las Vegas. Officials expect the completed system to provide 20 million gallons of water per day. Wastewater from Apex will be treated and recycled through existing regional infrastructure.
Planners have positioned the project as part of a broader effort to increase the reliability of Southern Nevada’s water systems and to enable new industrial growth in the Apex area. Current projections estimate the development could support up to 73,000 jobs and attract $7 billion in capital investment over the next 20 years.
The project is funded through local and regional sources.
