“We’re 90% reliant on a system that’s declining, and there’s no obvious way to add supply.” That’s how John Entsminger, General Manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority and Las Vegas Valley Water District, describes Las Vegas’ dependence on the Colorado River. In our latest episode of 21st Century Water Podcast, John lays out the realities of managing a major utility in one of the most water-stressed regions in the country where climate data shows a 20% drop in river flows this century, with further declines expected. There are no easy fixes. No new reservoirs. No big supply increases coming. Yet under John’s leadership, Southern Nevada has managed to reduce total water use even while its population has grown by hundreds of thousands. His commitment to long-term planning, conservation, and transparency makes him a standout voice in the water sector and a strong advocate for the communities he serves. If you’re looking for perspective on how water leaders are navigating climate stress, this conversation is worth your time. 🎧 Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/e2KtpYjk 📘 Download Aquasight’s climate change brief: Navigating Climate Change: The Role Aquasight is Playing to Combat the Mega Trend https://hubs.ly/Q03gPQ4Q0 #WaterUtilities #ClimateChange #WaterLeadership #ColoradoRiver #SNWA #PublicService #UtilityResilience #21stCenturyWater #Aquasight

1 in 2 gallons. That’s how much of a utility’s wastewater flow can come from inflow and infiltration (I&I)....rainwater and groundwater that shouldn’t be there. These “invisible intrusions” strain treatment plants, inflate energy costs, and increase the risk of overflows, especially during storms. At Aquasight, we help utilities detect, monitor, and reduce I&I in real time through smart AI tools like ACE™. This means... ✅ Lower flows ✅ Lower costs ✅ Longer asset life ✅ Higher system resilience Because every drop matters, and not every drop belongs. #Aquasight #WaterTech #SmartUtilities #InflowAndInfiltration #InfrastructureInnovation #IandI #SmartWater #UtilityEfficiency #ClimateResilience

Just dropped! Episode 39 of the 21st Century Water podcast Las Vegas’ Water Secret: How Southern Nevada Water Authority Does More With Less We sat down with John Entsminger, the GM of Southern Nevada Water Authority and Las Vegas Valley Water District, to talk about what it really takes to run water operations in one of the driest places in the country. Quick preview:  — Las Vegas has added 800,000 people since 2002  — …but uses 35–40% 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 water  — They recycle nearly all indoor use  — And they just made the Las Vegas Grand Prix a net-positive water event (yep, really) John talks about: 🔹The behind-the-scenes decisions that shaped his leadership 🔹Big infrastructure bets like a $1.5B backup intake at Lake Mead 🔹How they deal with leaks, drought, cooling towers, turf, and more 🔹Why even old casinos are helping fight erosion (seriously) One of the most practical and no-fluff conversations we’ve had. Worth a listen if you care about long-term planning, big system thinking, and the future of utility operations. 🔗 Tune in: https://lnkd.in/e2KtpYjk  #Water #Wastewater #UtilityOps #SNWA #WaterConservation #Aquasight #21stCenturyWater

We’ve spent years working side-by-side with water and wastewater teams from treatment plant operators to superintendents and utility directors. Across all the regions, one thing is clear: The challenges may look different on the surface, but the pain points are strikingly similar. We’ve pulled together the patterns we keep hearing, the things utility teams wish they had sooner, and what’s finally helping them move forward.

"If you don’t keep up with your upkeep and your capital improvement, you're going to struggle and suffer in the future." That’s what Ghassan Korban, Executive Director of Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans, shared when asked about the biggest challenge facing utilities over the next decade. Episode 37 of the 21st Century Water podcast with our CEO, Mahesh Lunani, dives into a real conversation about the tough realities cities face, like infrastructure degradation, funding gaps, and the pressure to do more with less. Asset management isn’t just a box to check anymore. It’s the foundation for sustainability, service reliability, and smart decision-making. Yet many utilities are still working off static spreadsheets, siloed systems, and reactive maintenance models. The good news? Cities are beginning to shift. Moving toward living, integrated tools that support data-driven capital planning, cross-department coordination, and long-term resilience. Because as Ghassan said, the costs of inaction are too high.
