LAS VEGAS (AP) The Southern Nevada Wa- ter Authority has unani- mously approved an infra- structure plan over $3 bil- lion that will bring higher water bills for customers. Water costs will increase in 2022 and continue to rise over a six-year period. A typical single family home in the Las Vegas area can expect to pay roughly $10 more per month in 2027 for water than they do in 2020, the Las Vegas Re- view-Journal reported Thursday. The state said it plans on paying the $3 billion with loans. The approval includes plans to build a pipeline that will carry water to and from Apex Industrial Park.
The projects will cost about $250 million in total and are scheduled to be completed by 2028. is probably the single biggest economic driver that will ever change the direction of North Las North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee, a water authority board member, said during the meeting. Another plan involves building infrastructure to carry wastewater from the industrial park through more than 40 miles of pipeline, where it will be treated and sent back to Lake Mead. That project is scheduled to be completed in 2027 and will cost ap- proximately $120 million. the overall plan helps ensure Southern Ne- current and future water users continue to re- ceive reliable, quality water for decades to come, many of the projects within the plan will help stimulate the local economy and support our eco- nomic diversification ef- said water authority spokesman Bronson Mack in a statement.
Still another plan in- volves the creation of a new pipeline in the south- ern Las Vegas Valley. The project is expected to cost almost $1.6 billion and will create 24 miles of pipeline, two pumping stations and enough space for 40 mil- lion gallons of water. A further nearly $215 million will be spent on maintaining and upgrad- ing existing infrastructure. Nevada water authority OKs $3B plan, increased water bills BRADY MCCOMBS Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY The president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called on members Friday to flood social media over Thanksgiving week with messages of gratitude in what he hopes will serve as a healing tool as the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, racism and a lack of ci- vility. Russell M.
Nelson, a 96-year-old former heart surgeon, said in a recorded speech posted online that the COVID-19 pandemic is a great con- cern to him as man of science and but not his only worry. view the current pandemic as only one of many ills that plague our world, including hate, civil unrest, racism, vi- olence, dishonesty and lack of Nelson said. He urged the Utah- based 16.5 mil- lion members around the globe to appreciate what they have, rather than dwelling on the nega- tive. He pointed to his own ability to overcome pain from his first death 16 years ago and the passing of two of his daughters to cancer. He told members to post on social media about what they are grateful for each of the next seven days, while also doing daily prayers.
our bless- ings is far better than re- counting our problems. No matter our situation, showing gratitude for our privileges is a fast-acting and long-lasting spiri- tual Nel- son said. gratitude spare us from sorrow, sadness, grief, and pain? No, but it does soothe our feelings. It provides us with a greater perspective on the very purpose and joy of The pandemic has al- tered how the faith wor- ships limiting Sun- day worship services and sacred ordinances at temples and forcing twice-annual church conferences to be held virtually without people in attendance. Nelson is considered a prophet who receives guidance from God by members of the faith, widely known as the Mormon church.
He elabo- rate about racism in the 11-minute speech, but it reflected a grow- ing concern by leaders about racial injustice. Since assuming the top post in 2018, Nelson has preached for racial har- mony and mutual respect and launched a formal partnership with the NAACP. A top-ranking leader called on members to root out racism during a speech at a church con- ference in October and echoed those sentiments in a subsequent speech to students at church- owned Brigham Young University. The past ban on Black men in the lay priesthood that stood until 1978 lingers as one of the most sensitive top- ics in the history. The church disavowed the ban and the reasons behind it in a 2013 essay explaining that it was enacted during an era of great racial divide that influenced the early teachings, but never issuing a formal apology for the ban, a sore spot for some members.
The church grew more diverse in 2018 when it selected the first-ever Latin American and per- son of Asian ancestry to a top governing panel but there are still no Black men on the panel. In a closing prayer after his recorded speech Fri- day, Nelson wished for unity. thank Thee for the leaders of nations and others who strive to lift us. We pray for relief from political he said. Thou bless us with a healing spirit that unites us despite our dif- Nov.
