In the Home Matters column on page 9 of the March 9 issue, headlined “Improper recycling waste of time, hazardous” Cory Delperdang, operations manager at Boulder City Disposal was quoted as saying, “Any water in Boulder City that goes down the drain is recycled and ends up back in Lake Mead.” That is incorrect.

Here is a correction from Boulder City Utilities Director Joseph Stubitz: “While this is true for Henderson, Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas, this is not true for Boulder City. Boulder City treats its wastewater and the majority is discharged into the desert. A small percentage is sold for dust control.”

If you renovated or remodeled your home or accessory structure without getting a building permit first, here is your opportunity to get in compliance.

As reinvestment and renovations occur to many of the older buildings, parks and homes within this community, historic preservation remains an important and celebrated part of Boulder City’s identity. The city’s history is forever tied to the families who came here 95 years ago for the construction of the Hoover Dam, and the places that remain today serve as a meaningful reminder of how it all started.
