LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The city of Henderson has completed a $100 million investment in wastewater treatment process upgrades and new equipment at its Water Reclamation Facility.
The Water Reclamation Facility treats wastewater and returns it to Lake Mead. Every drop that goes down a drain is treated and reused, supporting the community’s long-term water sustainability.
