Safety - Know your Meter Reader


Yes, even though we live in a high tech society, we still have water meter readers working in our neighborhoods. It is important to know who does and does not belong around your home. Having an unfamiliar vehicle near your home can cause concern.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District came up with some tips to identify their water district employee in your area.
1. Water Dist. employees will drive official vehicles with a clearly marked blue and yellow Water District Logo.
2. District Employees and contractors will always display in plain view a Water District photo identification badge with their name and title. District employees wear LVVWD logo shirts that areligth blue, bright orange, white or neon "safety" green.
3. No district employee will request entry to your home or request that you collect a water sample from inside your home for analysis. They may enter a backyard, if necessary, to access your meter.
4. No district employee will ever request or collect payment at your residence for water bills or for services rendered.
If you are ever concerned about anyone approaching or calling your home regarding your water service - please contact the water district. (702) 870-4194.
If you feel you are in stranger danger, always remember 911.
