KOAT - People living in Las Vegas may see their water bills go up as soon as September, and by 2016 rates could triple. City officials said the dam is leaking so badly, about half the water flowing from the river to the faucet gets wasted.

"This is good water that the folks from here aren't able to drink or cook with," Gov. Susana Martinez said.
Martinez visited Las Vegas Wednesday, getting a first-hand look at the leaking dam she's advocated to fix. Martinez blames state legislators for not using their capital outlay allotments to fix the dam, but rather proposing projects like a high school weight room and a parking lot. Martinez vetoed those projects. Read full story here: News New Mexico
