Water Smart Business program
If you believe in Southern Nevada's business future, grow your company's conservation commitment—with bottom-line results—by becoming a Water Smart Business.
For more than a decade, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) has been partnering with the business community to promote water efficiency with programs such as Linen Exchange for hotels, Water Upon Request for restaurants, Water Smart Landscaper for landscaping and Water Smart Car Wash for vehicle washing.
Now we can do even more. This isn't about meetings or congratulatory pats on the back. This is about action. By committing to the Water Smart Business program, you recognize the importance of:
- Prioritizing water efficiency through increased participation in water conservation incentive programs that yield the greatest water savings
- Utilizing the internal and external communication channels of your businesses to increase awareness of water conservation programs and water use restrictions throughout your industry and employee/client bases
- Fostering greater community connection and engagement as an active participant in water conservation
