Water Conservation: Pools
Evaporation can cause an uncovered pool to lose upwards of 70 gallons of water per square foot each year (this adds up to about 10,000 to 15,000 gallons) . During the hottest summer months your pool could lose as much as four inches a week. Using a pool cover can cut this loss by 90% as well as preventing debris getting blown into the pool.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority offers an instant rebate coupon for a pool cover purchase: $50 or 50 percent off the purchase price of a pool cover, whichever is less or $200 or 50 percent off the purchase of a permanent, mechanical pool cover.
Only one coupon per address may be redeemed and you must purchase from an approved retailer. If you have questions, call the Conservation Helpline at 258-SAVE (7283).
