 SAVING WATER IS A COOL THING TO...
EVEN DURING THE SUMMER HEAT
The dog days of summer are about to heat things up in Southern Nevada, which means it’s the perfect time to learn how you can cool off your water use during our hottest months of the year—and keep your landscape healthy at the same time.
While rising temperatures may tempt you to overwater your landscape, the truth is that trees and plants can thrive and remain vibrant in our scorching summer heat with less water than we may think.
· Drip-irrigated trees and plants can stay healthy when watered on a recommended four-day-a-week schedule in summer.
· As temperatures rise and weather conditions dictate, slowly “ramp up” the number of days you water per week.
· For grass, run sprinklers for a total of 12 minutes per watering day, set in three four-minute cycles, spaced one hour apart. That’s all your grass needs.
· Grass can be watered up to six days a week in summer; no watering on Sundays.
As a reminder, the community’s mandatory summer watering restrictions are in effect from May 1 through Aug. 31. During the summer months, sprinkler irrigation is prohibited between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., when water can be lost to intense heat and high winds. Watering during these prohibited hours or allowing water to spray or flow off your property could result in a costly water-waste fine—and nobody wants that.
For more summer landscape care tips and other ways to save water and money on your monthly bill, visit snwa.com.

WATER LEAKS
 Did you know that as a homeowner, you are responsible for the water and sewer laterals on your property?
Water Lateral
The homeowner’s responsibility for the water service lateral begins at the connection to the water meter inside the meter box. This is called the service connection. If a leak occurs at any point downstream of the water meter, it will need to be repaired immediately to avoid a high water bill.
Leaks in the service lateral can be difficult to locate. Nevada has very porous soil that may cause service leaks to take a long time to surface. Contact a certified plumber if you need assistance locating a leak.
Sewer Lateral
The homeowner’s responsibility for the sewer service lateral ends at the connection to the main in the street. A sewer line blockage is the responsibility of the homeowner throughout the entire pipe until the connection to the City’s main. Sewer line breakages are the responsibility of the homeowner until the point where the sewer line crosses the boundary of the property.
If a plumber has inspected your sewer line and determined that a breakage or blockage is on the City side, video evidence may be submitted to the Utilities Department for review.
Service Line Insurance The City has partnered with Service Line Warranties of America to offer optional insurance coverage to residents for water and sewer service lines. Most basic homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover service laterals.
Service Line Warranties of America is a separate entity from the City of North Las Vegas, and participating in their service plan will not affect the price, availability, or terms of service you have with the City.
For more information about coverage, contact Service Line Warranties of America at https://www.slwofa.com/ or call 1-866-922-9006.
Please note: the city offers leak adjustments on a case by case basis if a customer does have to repair a leak on their property. You can simply call Customer Service at (702) 633-1484 or write to utilitiescustomerservice@cityofnorthlasvegas.com
for guidance.

 IRS
PREPARE TO FILE IN 2025
Get Ready for tax season with key updates, essential tips
With the 2025 filing season quickly approaching, the Internal Revenue Service encouraged taxpayers to take key steps now to prepare for filing their 2024 federal income tax returns next year. There are a number of things taxpayers can do to get ready as the end of 2024 nears and the start of the 2025 tax season approaches.
The IRS’s Get Ready page on IRS.gov offers practical tips and resources to help taxpayers prepare. It highlights key updates and important steps for taxpayers to consider to make tax filing easier in 2025.
This reminder is part of a series designed to help taxpayers “Get Ready” for the upcoming filing season. Taking action now can reduce stress and ensure a smoother filing process next year.
Do more with an IRS Online Account
Individuals can create or access their IRS Online Account at Online account for individuals. With an IRS Online Account, they can:
*View key details from their most recent tax return, such as adjusted gross income.
*Request an Identity Protection PIN. *Get account transcripts to include wage and income records. *Sign tax forms like powers of attorney or tax information authorizations. *View and edit language preferences and alternative media. *Receive and view over 200 IRS electronic notices. *View, make and cancel payments. *Set up or change payment plans and check their balance. Get an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN)
An IP PIN is a six-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a federal tax return using an individual’s Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. It’s a vital tool for ensuring the safety of taxpayers’ personal and financial information.
The best way to sign up for an IP PIN is through the IRS Online Account. If an individual is unable to create an Online Account, alternative methods are available, such as in-person authentication at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. More information is available on how to sign up at Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN).
Understand refund timing and how to avoid delays
Several factors can influence the timing of a refund after the IRS receives a tax return. While the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, taxpayers are advised not to depend on receiving a 2024 federal tax refund by a specific date for major purchases or bill payments. Some returns may require additional review and take longer to process if there are possible errors, missing information, or indications of identity theft or fraud.
Gather and organize 2024 tax documents
To make tax time easier, taxpayers should establish an effective record-keeping system, either electronic or paper, to organize all important documents in one place. This includes year-end income forms such as Forms W-2 from employers, Forms 1099 from banks or other payers, Forms 1099-K from third-party payment networks, Forms 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation, Forms 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income, Forms 1099-INT for interest income and records of all digital asset transactions. Having all necessary documentation ensures taxpayers can file an accurate return and reduces the likelihood of processing delays or refund issues.
Use direct deposit for a faster refund
Filing electronically and selecting direct deposit remains the fastest and safest way for taxpayers to receive their 2024 tax refunds. Direct deposit ensures quicker access to refunds compared to receiving a paper check.
For those without a bank account, resources are available to help. Individuals can learn how to open an account at an FDIC-insured bank or use the national Credit Union Locator tool. Veterans can explore the Veterans Benefits Banking Program for financial services at participating banks.
Tax refunds can also be deposited onto prepaid debit cards or through mobile payment apps, provided they have routing and account numbers. Taxpayers should confirm with the mobile app provider or financial institution which numbers to use when completing their tax return.
