What Nevada conditions mean for plumbing
Las Vegas Valley Water District figures put hardness at 280 mg/L, about 16 grains per gallon and well into the very hard band, which is tough on water heaters, aerators, and valve seals. Freeze class here is mixed: freezing events arrive most winters, so insulating hose bibs and exposed lines is inexpensive protection against a rare but real burst.
| Utility area | Hardness | Class | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 280 mg/L (≈16.4 gpg) | very hard | utility report, 280 ppm system average, 2026 |
