About North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas is its own city with its own utility. Aliante and Sun City Aliante sit in the northwest, Eldorado is an older master plan in the middle of town, and the Villages at Tule Springs and Valley Vista are newer builds along the north edge. Craig Ranch Regional Park covers 170 acres off Craig Road.
The North Las Vegas weather station also runs hotter than the two airport stations. It averages about 85 days a year at 100 degrees or more and about 18 nights at or below freezing, more of both than the airport stations.
The water damage we see most in North Las Vegas
- Supply line and water heater leaks in newer two story homes
- Hose bib and exposed pipe breaks on the coldest nights
- Attic AC drain overflows during the long hot season
- Ground movement concerns. A 1989 state geology report noted land sinking near the North Las Vegas Airport from groundwater pumping
Weather numbers that matter in North Las Vegas
| Measure | Normal |
|---|---|
| Days at 100 degrees or more | 85 |
| Rain per year | 4.27 inches |
| Nights at 32 degrees or below | 18 |
Those numbers explain the pattern. Freeze breaks are rare and mostly hit exposed outdoor pipes. Heat is constant, which speeds up how fast standing water goes bad. And most of the year's rain arrives in short monsoon storms, which the county flood district says can flash flood even on sunny days between July and September.
