Given the ongoing pressures on the Colorado River—our primary freshwater source—LAS has implemented extensive measures to conserve water while maintaining operational excellence.
Sustainable Landscaping: Over the past decade, LAS has replaced decorative turf with drought-tolerant xeriscaping, showcasing the unique biodiversity of the Mojave Desert. Today, the airport maintains a grass-free campus, saving thousands of gallons of water annually.
Low-Flow Fixtures: All public restrooms are equipped with low-flow and motion-sensor faucets and toilets, significantly reducing unnecessary water use. These features are standard in all new construction.
Reclaimed Water Systems: Car wash operations at our rental and bus maintenance facilities use mostly reclaimed water, conserving hundreds of thousands of gallons of fresh water each year.
