Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas share very hard Colorado River water, about 16 to 17 grains per gallon. Flush the water heater yearly, and consider a softener.
They also share one plumbing code, but each city issues its own permits. Clark County covers the Strip and other unincorporated areas.
Reno and Sparks are different. Their river water is much softer, about 3 to 4 grains in winter. Winter nights there freeze exposed pipes.
