District will sell an outside population North Las Vegas has its own water system, which has been barely sufficient. Negotiations are under way for North Las Vegas to purchase water wholesale from the District. The present North Las Vegas supply is from wells. Henderson obtains its water from the existing Lake Mead pipeline, and Nellis Air Force Base has its own supply.
