Best to casually walk by and see if there is a meter where hose attaches to truck. If not get some pics and notify proper authorities and let them deal with it. There still may be a reward involved if they do convict thieves but you'll have to research/confirm this yourself.

On another note, there is a bill right now up to allow FRACKING in Utah near the Virgin River (Red Hills). Guess what nearby watershed all of the tons of water it takes to frack and all of the toxic ingredients that they don't have to tell you ingredients of the fracking material contents from China has in it ends up in?

Lake Mead, Lake Mohave etc.. is where it ends up and does LVVWD test for something they don't even know what is in it? Likely not.

Contact your representatives and sign petitions if you care about your water... #waterislife

The poster does not mind. Working the fracking issue. Which of course impacts probably 70% of the people in the SW. But the local water authority should get upset? And that is even the wrong authority.

Love true believers though...

****ing annoying transplants.

Are you the 'old post' police.

Now you got my interest with the fracking. Who can we comtact about this for a big fat NO>

Look at Oklahoma. They didn't learn a lesson from that.

We were invited to an investment dinner at Mortons, turns out it was for an oil company that does fracking.
After answering my questions and lying, me knowing much about this. He didn't sell anything that night. Thanks for the steak dinner! He got what he deserved.
Liars.

Ratting out people just because they are certain that someone's actions must be illegal when they don't know **** all about the Las Vegas valley. Our rules, laws and culture.

I enjoy your posts. I'm the second oldest Vegas resident here since our beloved Buzz decided to expand his horizons. LV mench has me beat because he's an old fart, but I went to elementary school here. If I say you get to speak your mind, I don't think there's a poster here who would overrule that.

In other words, Rock On, Peanut!

Another potential consequence of fracking is one that my former state of Oklahoma is now living with. Oklahoma legalized fracking, because local wisdom is that if it helps the oil companies, it should be done. Now they are having continual earthquakes in an area where they were once very rare.
