How else could a desert city possibly have enough water for its year-round tourists, a metro area population of over 2 million, and all those pools? The process just might be grosser than you think. With innovative recycling, strict lawn rules, and infrastructure to monitor it all, Vegas has become a global leader in water reuse. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Las Vegas podcast host Jesse Merrick to learn how the city makes do with what it has and how its practices could save other cities’ water supplies. Plus, are any Las Vegans actually going to the casinos? Mentioned on the show: \"Reality Check - There are Big Fines If You Don’t Change Your Watering Clock\" (Southern Nevada Water Authority) \"Federal Regulators Cut Lake Mead Water. Can Vegas Handle It?\" (City Cast Las Vegas) Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about? Email David now!
