'This is about the whole Valley' Lawsuit fights SNWA's effort to replace grass

A new lawsuit is accusing the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) of killing thousands of trees and causing millions of dollars in damages in its efforts toward water conservation.

This comes after state laws made it illegal to irrigate certain grass areas starting next year.

Jenny Edington and her husband Mark, as well as two other plaintiffs are behind the lawsuit.
