The Las Vegas Paiute Tribe proposes to install a new well and water tank to add redundancy to its Public Water System system on the Snow Mountain Reservation. A pump, shut-off valves, connection piping, and other essential system components also would be installed. Upon completion of the project, the reservation would have two functioning water tanks and wells for potable water. During emergencies, and when one of the tanks or pumps needs to be shut down for maintenance, the other would serve as a backup water supply.
