- Do you have a water softener?
Many pressure problems are associated with malfunctioning or improperly maintained water softeners. An easy test to determine if your water softener is causing a pressure problem is to place the softener in by-pass mode (which allows un-softened water and full pressure beyond the softener). The by-pass valve (Click here to view by-pass valve in a new window) is usually installed where the water enters and leaves the softener. If placing the softener in by-pass corrects your pressure problem, it is recommended that your softener be serviced.
- Do you have a pressure reducing valve?
Click here to view pressure reducing valve in a new window
A pressure reducing valve is a common cause for pressure related problems. A pressure reducing valve is typically located in the garage where water enters a home from the street. In some instances, pressure reducing valves have been located below grade in resident’s yards. The primary function of a pressure reducing valve is to reduce the water pressure entering the home from the City’s water supply. These valves can be adjusted by a qualified individual, typically a plumber. The majority of homes located in the Anthem area had pressure reducing valves installed by the home builder during construction. Replacement valves can be purchased at your local home improvement store and are typically priced around $100.
Is there a humming or whistling noise coming from the PRV while water is flowing through it?
If so, your PRV is most likely causing your pressure related problem, recommend servicing the valve or call a plumber.
Is your in-home pressure higher than in the past?
If so, your pressure reducing valve is most likely causing your pressure related problem, recommend servicing the valve or call a plumber.
Does the pressure start higher and becomes lower?
If so, your pressure reducing valve is most likely causing your pressure related problem, recommend servicing the valve or call a plumber.
- Have you recently performed or had plumbing work performed on your home?
Another common source of pressure related issues are caused by partially open or closed valves. Valve utilized while performing plumbing work should be checked to ensure they are in the full open position. Valve with a hand wheel (Click here to view hand wheel valve in a new window) are generally a gate valve and have been known to break in the closed position. If the hand wheel continue to spin freely in either direction with no sign of resistance, the valve is most likely broken. Recommend replacement or call a plumber.
- Is the pressure problem associated with your hot water system?
Your pressure problem is most likely associated with your hot water heater or a hot water recirculation system. Recommend service or call a plumber.
If you need further assistance you may enter a case in Contact Henderson or call the Department of Utility Services' Customer Care Center during regular business hours Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. til 5:30 p.m at 702-267-5900.

Firefighters gym:Why do Firefighters work out at public gyms?- Fighting fire is a very strenuous activity that requires fire personnel to be in top physical condition. Fire personnel... (more)
- Fighting fire is a very strenuous activity that requires fire personnel to be in top physical condition. Fire personnel are required to keep themselves in top physical shape to ensure that they are capable of operating at peak efficiency when responding to fire calls, vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, entrapments, and all other calls for service.
Department policy reads as follows: "To maintain physical fitness, employees shall work out on duty each (24-hour) shift, emergency workload permitting, for a minimum of one and one-half hours. Physical training will focus on cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility exercises. Employees may work out in station and in other training facilities approved by the Chief."
Each station is equipped with a minimum of work out equipment due to space limitations. Each fire station is staffed with four to ten personnel. In order to ensure that each employee is able to complete a 90-minute workout, employees are permitted to work out in public gyms. Employees who choose to utilize a public gym must pay for their own gym membership.
The number one focus of the Fire Department is rapid response to emergency calls. Therefore, crews are only permitted to utilize gyms in their assigned response district. While working out, the Firefighters carry radios. If a 9-1-1 call is received in the dispatch center, the crew is notified over the radio. If a 9-1-1 call is received while a crew is performing physical fitness training, they cease working out and respond immediately. Because the crew remains in district and available on the radio, response times are not impacted.
Competitive sports are not permitted given the opportunity for injury. Crews are often scheduled for hands-on training at the Fire Training Center. Strenuous fire training may be substituted for the required 90 minutes of physical fitness training.
Studies have shown that regular physical fitness training reduces on-the-job injuries due to sprains and strains, as well as serious medical emergencies, including heart attacks. Unfortunately, cardiac arrest is an all too common occurrence in fire personnel while performing strenuous fire fighting duties. Regular fitness training is therefore essential to ensure the health of employees and to reduce the cost to taxpayers associated with on-the-job injuries.
Studies have also demonstrated that regular fitness training is essential in reducing stress. While responding to emergency fire and medical calls, fire personnel are often witness to stressful events, including devastating injury and death. Therefore, fitness training is a useful tool in assisting employees in dealing with job related stress.
Fire personnel work 24-hour shifts, from 8 a.m. until 8 a.m. the following day. In total, fire personnel spend one-third of their lives on duty. As a result, excluding fitness training while on duty would work against the Department's goal of maintaining a physically and mentally fit workforce.

- If you are the registered owner of the home, and it is your primary residence, you may pull your own building permits. There are certain stipulations that you must agree to before the permits will be issued. As a home owner, if you pull your own permits, you may prepare your own drawings and plans. This may be done without consulting an architect or designer, as long as the plans are legible and are Building and Fire Code compliant.
**Note** These policies do not apply to owners of rental properties, or owners of commercial properties. In those cases, a licensed contractor must be hired to perform all work and must be listed as the contractor of record on the permits.

Court: Must I appear in Court for my traffic citation? - You must appear if:* You are a juvenile (a parent or legal guardian must accompany you)... (more)
You must appear if:
* You are a juvenile (a parent or legal guardian must accompany you)
* Your citation indicates that you have a MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE (charges include but are not limited to: Reckless or Aggressive Driving, Flee Police, Leave the Scene of Accident, Child Safety Seat, and certain criminal misdemeanors.)
* You wish to plead not guilty.
* You wish to speak with the Judge about your citation.
* You were issued a citation for No Insurance, No Vehicle Registration, No Valid License and you obtained such on or after your citation date.
You are not required to appear on your posted court date if:
* You want to plead No Contest or Guilty and pay the citation. The bail amount indicated on the citation must be paid in full prior to the court date on the citation and can be mailed or paid online. The total amount due is located at the lower right corner of the citation. The applicable demerit points will be reported to DMV following the court date on your citation.
* You want to plead No Contest or Guilty and complete Traffic School to have your citation amended to a non-moving violation. Requests for Traffic Safety School may be made at the clerk's window or via the secure online payment process prior to your scheduled court date.
You must request traffic safety school and enter your plea of Guilty or No Contest before or on the court date listed on your citation and and BEFORE you attend the class. Traffic safety school does not reduce the fine amount but paying the fine and completing traffic safety school by the completion due date will amend the violation to a parking violation (no points are reported to DMV on parking violations).
You may request traffic safety school only once a year and there is a traffic safety school fee, which is in addition to your citation fine amount. You will be given a completion due date and a Traffic Safety School information sheet when you enter a plea. Failure to complete traffic safety school by the completion due date will result in the original violation conviction being reported to DMV. You may not request Traffic School if your driver’s license is a Commercial Driver’s License. The practice of reducing charges, altering speeds, or allowing CDL drivers to attend traffic safety school is specifically prohibited in 49 CFR Part 384.226.
