This new comes on the heels of Lake Mead’s water levels rapidly shrinking in size by the day, which could cause massive energy shortages if not enough water flows through the Hoover Dam and other hydroelectric plants.

But for more on this emergency announcement, ABC News explains more details.
The city of Las Vegas has declared an emergency over its water supply after the Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire, the largest wildfire in New Mexico history, contaminated the Gallinas River. The city relies solely on water from the river, which has been tainted with large amounts of fire-related debris and ash, according to city officials.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Grisham said in a tweet that $2.25 million in state funding has been made available to ensure residents receive access to safe drinking water.
The city is currently relying on reservoirs which, at the current consumption rate, contain less than 50 days worth of stored water, according to Las Vegas Mayor Louie Trujillo.
The large amounts of ash and turbidity in the river have prevented the city from being able to pull water from it, as the city’s municipal water treatment facility is not able to treat the contaminated water, according to the mayor.
The Hermit’s Peak Fire and Calf Canyon Fire merged on April 27. By May 2, the blaze had grown in size and caused evacuations in multiple villages and communities in San Miguel County and Mora County.
President Joe Biden issued a major disaster declarations for the New Mexico counties of Colfax, Mora and San Miguel on May 4.
The fire resulted in the loss of federal, state, local, tribal and private property including thousands of acres of the watershed for the Gallinas River, the primary source of municipal water for the city and surrounding areas, according to the emergency declaration.
The Gallinas River has resulted in thousands of acres of scorched forest, flooding, ash and fire debris.
Meanwhile, in Nevada, the Las Vegas airport and the Las Vegas strip were flooded last night after heavy rainfall.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[13] Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. [14] Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. [15] And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: [16] But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.Isaiah 5:13-16
And yet the masses still are asleep and blinded, having no idea what is going on, and what shall befall them. Even if this particular problem is resolved, it is evident that the Unites States and many other Western nations are heading for a massive famine, energy crisis, total economic breakdown, and so on.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I saw that the casinos got flooded, I was actually stricken with joy and relief by that. Praise the Lord! It’s about time a nasty fate befell Las Vegas and its casinos!
All these years, decades, maybe a little over a century, Las Vegas has poked Jesus in the eyes and provoked him, nicknaming their city “Sin City,” it’s like saying “Ha! In your face, God!” The gambling, the greed, the sex perversion, the drugs, the alcoholism, the gluttony, the crooked cops and casino owners.
A lot of those casino owners and managers are in the mafia – believe it or not. Oh yes, the mafia is alive and well, they’re just more discreet now. Al Capone helped usher gambling in. Another gangster: Ben “Bugsy” Siegel also helped create Las Vegas – the hotel and casino “the Flamingo” was made in honor of his mistress Virginia.
Casinos have robbed people blind and all that money and all those jackpots are blood money! They wanna make ya feel like you’re gonna have a party with friends but in reality they’re a bunch of greedy thugs with a dagger hidden behind their backs.
Sex perversion got so absurd in Las Vegas that they have these wedding chapels where somebody you’ve only known for a few hours a day at the most, you can just walk in with them and presto you’re married.
And if you’re a true believer a King James Bible believer specifically, you would avoid Las Vegas like a ten-headed monster!
-“Oh well I’m not going to gamble or go to the sex shows or strip clubs I’m not even going to have a single drink or a cigarette” it doesn’t matter, abstain from all appearance of evil! You might not do those things but you’re still in the midst of it and temptation is all too real. Why put yourself at risk?
Here’s a verse that describes Las Vegas to a tee:
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”
Ezekiel 16:49
