Federal Judge to Hear Arguments on Las Vegas Water Grab
LAS VEGAS, Nev.— The Center for Biological Diversity will present oral arguments Monday in U.S. District Court in a case that could decide whether a massive water pipeline to Las Vegas can be built.
The Center argues that the Southern Nevada Water Authority's $15.5 billion groundwater development project violates federal environmental laws and would endanger wildlife, public lands and rural communities.
The case is being heard together with a second lawsuit brought by White Pine County, the Great Basin Water Network, American Indian tribes and other groups.
What: Oral arguments on Southern Nevada Water Authority pipeline lawsuit
When: Monday, July 31, 2017 at 3 p.m.
Where: U.S. District Judge Andrew P. Gordon's courtroom (Courtroom 6C); Lloyd D George Courthouse; 333 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas
