ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION--Urging the Las Vegas Valley Water District to maintain the current method for the calculation of charges for water to mobile home parks by use of a master meter.

Whereas, Conservation of the ground-water resources of the Las Vegas Valley is of utmost importance to the residents of this valley and to the State of Nevada; and
Whereas, The use of water meters in single-family residences provides a fair method of charging residents who use water based upon their actual use; and
Whereas, The Las Vegas Valley Water District currently charges residents of mobile home parks who are connected to a master water meter at a rate comparable to such rates charged for single-family residences; and
Whereas, A basic amount of water is necessary for the life-sustaining activities of all residents of mobile home parks; and
Whereas, All mobile home parks which are constructed after October 1, 1995, in counties whose population is 400,000 or more are required by statute to provide direct water service to individual meters for each lot; and
Whereas, Mobile home parks that were constructed before October 1, 1995, may, but are not required by statute to, convert to individual water meters for each lot; and
Whereas, The method of charging residents of mobile home parks for water should ensure fairness and affordability for those residents; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That the members of the 69th session of the Nevada Legislature do hereby urge the Las Vegas Valley Water District to maintain the current schedule of rates for water usage in a mobile home park until such time as master meters are converted to individual residential meters which would measure actual consumption by each resident of a mobile home park; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
