UTILITIES & RESOURCES

  • Water Resources: Municipal water supply in the bulk of Elko County is derived from groundwater resources, with Montello and Jarbidge being the exceptions. The Interstate-80 corridor communities derive their municipal supplies from groundwater, often tied to the Humboldt River and its tributaries as a recharge source.

    While most groundwater supplies are fully allocated through the water rights process, supplies in many areas are ready for development and beneficial use. For example, there is over 27,000 acre feet (an acre foot is 325,900 gallons, and supplies a family of four for one year) of groundwater is available and permitted in the Elko area, with the City of Elko holding over 18,000 acre-feet in water rights. In contrast, only 8,000-9,000 acre-feet are used annually within the basin. This allows plenty of room for residential and commercial growth in the City. The same story can be told for much of the rest of Elko County.

  • Water Quality: Overall water quality in most areas within the County is very good to excellent. One measure of quality often used by manufacturers is Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). EPA standard require TDS to be less than 1,000. Water in southern Nevada is often 700 to 800 TDS, where water in Elko is less than 350, and in Spring Creek, TDS is less than 275. Travelers to the area often remark upon how sweet tasting the water in the area is, compared to communities like Reno, Los Angeles, Las Vegas or Phoenix.
