§ 4.23. Utilities and Community Facilities Trends and Outlook

The following are current trends that are anticipated over the planning period with regard to utilities and community facilities.

• Schools and school districts will continue to seek new ways to share services and reduce expenses in order to deal with continued declining enrollment. School district consolidation is not beyond the realm of possibilities within the 20-year planning period.

• The trend for solid waste and recycling coordination and regionalization will begin to be more common within the Clark County region.

• Increased public interest in more county coordinated Clean Sweep collections.

• Local government budget constraints will drive the need for intergovernmental cooperation for services and programs.

• County POWTS programs will expand due to additional state requirements to inventory and monitor the maintenance of all POWTS within their jurisdiction.
