LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Las Vegas Valley Water District has issued a warning about individuals going door-to-door posing as district employees.
Wednesday, the district said suspicious individuals have been seen near the intersection of Owens Avenue and D Street, claiming to represent LVVWD and asking to enter homes.
The individuals will knock on doors and claim they need to test the water inside the home. They also claim they can install a filtration system if the customer signs an agreement and provides them with a credit card.
LVVWD emphasizes that these are not district employees, and residents should exercise caution if someone claiming to be an employee asks to enter their home.
They add that district employees will never request access to customer homes, nor will they ask to collect payment in person.
To identify actual employees, LVVWD urges customers
- The LVVWD’s blue-and-yellow logo on all official vehicles.
- Employees all wear an LVVWD-issued badge with a photo, company logo and employee number.
- LVVWD employees generally wear bright green or orange shirts. Sometimes they wear blue work shirts with the logo and name patch.
If you are concerned about someone who has approached or called your home regarding your water service, call (702) 870-4194 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-6 p.m.). After hours, call the LVVWD emergency number, (702) 258-3150.
