Preliminary investigation shows no ground water, except possibly at the pump house site* Our experience in the general Las Vegas territory, however, indicates that ground water level is quite variable, and if water is encountered in such quantity as to necessitate pumping, shoring, and other unforeseen expense, we will expect to be reimbursed for such additional expense at cost,
