To protect the quality of Lake Mead and Las Vegas Wash in Nevada, six water treatment alternatives and three wastewater treatment plants in the Las Vegas Valley were analyzed. The treatment plants and the treatment alternatives are described. Studies on cost-effectiveness, functional limitations, environmental impact, and energy-efficiency of the treatment alternatives are discussed. The low lime treatment mode should be used initially at area treatment facilities because of its proven dewatering characteristics, and the alum treatment mode should receive further testing.
