By working alongside Waterstart and the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), this project funds a pilot program that makes drinking water from Las Vegas wells safer. The program leverages LED UV technology from the U.K. based company Aquisense that kills microbes at the wellhead, providing an additional treatment to protect the quality of groundwater, an issue for SNWA wells. Our hope is that this technology will be implemented in the future at state- and nationwide levels, providing additional storage and security in water-scarce regions.
