NRS 349.961 Water projects: Preliminary plan; approval.
1. When any municipality or other obligor desires to undertake a water project, it may present its preliminary plan to the Board for approval. If the proposed water project affects drinking water, the Board shall request that the Administrator of the Division of Environmental Protection of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources submit comments and recommendations regarding the project. The Board shall analyze the potential yield of the water project, and may tentatively approve it if it will preserve or increase the water available for beneficial use in this State.
2. If the Board, after a public hearing on the issue, tentatively approves the water project, the municipality or other obligor may proceed to prepare a final plan and submit it for final approval. If the Board finally approves the water project, the cost of the final plan may be included in the cost of the water project. If the Board does not finally approve the water project, the Director may, within the limits of money available for this purpose in the Account for the Financing of Water Projects, reimburse a municipality for the costs incurred after the tentative approval.
