Where Boulder City water comes from
Boulder City was founded in 1931 to house the workers who built Hoover Dam, and it sits about 26 miles southeast of Las Vegas. The city does not pump from the lake itself. As the Boulder City Review reported on the city’s annual water quality report, Boulder City purchases its water from the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which draws it through Intake No. 3 in Lake Mead and treats it at the Alfred Merritt Smith Water Treatment Facility on Lakeshore Road.
How hard is Boulder City water?
The same report gave Boulder City’s water a hardness of 290 parts per million, or roughly 17 grains per gallon. That is in line with the Las Vegas Valley Water District’s figures for the valley, and well above the 180 mg/L line generally used to define very hard water. The minerals are calcium and magnesium carried by the Colorado River. They are not a health issue, but they are hard on plumbing and fixtures.
Common water problems in Boulder City homes
- Scale in older water heaters and plumbing that have run on hard water for years.
- White crust on faucets and shower heads, and spots on dishes.
