Mixed55% confidence4 sourcesOct 23, 2026The City of Henderson puts about one billion gallons of water per year into Lake Las Vegas to compensate for evaporation.The core assertion is supported: sources say Henderson supplies raw water to Lake Las Vegas to replace evaporation losses, after stormwater falls short. The figure is less settled: the sources report about 1.3 billion gallons delivered or used in the relevant period, not about one billion, so the claimed amount is only partly matched. The claim is a loose paraphrase of the passage's 'about a billion gallons per year'. The sources are older than the 2026-10-23 claim date, so they describe the state of affairs at their reporting time rather than confirming that exact date.Mixed60% confidence6 sourcesOct 23, 2026Lake Las Vegas was created as a 3.3 billion gallon lake.Sources give competing figures for the water in Lake Las Vegas at creation: most say about three billion gallons were diverted, the LA Times says the lake held 3.4 billion gallons, and Wikipedia's 10,000 acre-feet works out to roughly 3.26 billion gallons. The claimed 3.3 billion falls inside this 3.0–3.4 billion range, but no source states 3.3 directly. The extracted claim matches the passage's figure and does not widen its scope.Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.
