The Virgin Valley Water District provides a safe and dependable water supply to the citizens and visitors in Mesquite and Bunkerville. The District tests its water in accordance with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The District tests the water for over 100 different parameters. The District’s water portfolio consists of groundwater, surface water (Virgin River), and spring water.
In 1996, the United States Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act requiring water providers to deliver an annual Water Quality Report to their consumers. The report is intended to provide you, the consumer, with information regarding the quality of your drinking water and to illustrate some of the challenges faced in delivering safe drinking water. The Virgin Valley Water District is committed to keeping its consumers informed; you are encouraged to read these reports in their entirety. Informed consumers are more likely to help protect their drinking water supplies and understand the true costs associated with providing the water they depend on.

The Virgin Valley Water District serves drinking water to a population of approximately 17,000 people in Clark County, Nevada. The District relies exclusively on groundwater wells located throughout the District’s service area. To meet the growth in water demand in the District’s service area, several additional wells have recently been drilled and prepared for operation. Unfortunately, the District’s groundwater contains naturally occurring arsenic at levels ranging from 5 micrograms per liter (5µg/L) to 86 µg/L. Until 2001, the limit on arsenic in drinking water was 50 µg/L arsenic standard. In 2001, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) lowered the maximum allowable arsenic level in drinking water to 10 µg/L. Compliance with this new limit was required by January 2006. In order to meet this new limit, the District has installed arsenic treatment systems at many of its wells.
The addition of five arsenic treatment systems for a total capacity of 12,100 gpm (17.4 MGD) constitutes a substantial increase in the District’s water treatment activities, not to mention the significant financial commitment required to construct, operate, and maintain these systems. Due to the updates, the arsenic levels are now within EPA limits.
Each water source is tested quarterly, annually, or once every three years depending on the constituent for 130 different contaminants as required by State and Federal agencies. Results of those tests can be obtained by contacting the Water District.
In 2024, the Virgin Valley Water District detected NO contaminants in the drinking water above the EPA accepted level for drinking water. See our current and historical Annual Water Quality Reports by clicking the link below:
