The hearing on SB 150 will begin at 1:00 pm on Friday March 15th. The bill which was introduced by Senator Goicoechea on behalf on the Central Nevada Regional Water Authority requires counties and cities to develop a water resource plan. Cities do not need to develop a plan if they are included in a county water resource plan.
Nevada, the driest state in the nation, has a finite sustainable water supply for its communities and ecosystems, and therefore local government land use plans (master plans) should be based on identified sustainable water resources. CNRWA has long advocated for local government land-use plans to be based on identified sustainable water resources and appreciates Senator Goicoechea and cosponsors; Senators Settelmeyer, Hardy and Hansen and joint sponsor Assemblyman Ellison for bringing this measure forward.
