Septic Tank Replacement in the Las Vegas Area
CG Plumbing Solutions provides septic tank replacement service for properties in the Las Vegas area, including customers in Section 10 / ZIP 89117 and Section 11 / ZIP 89146. When a septic system is having recurring problems or replacement is being considered, we can help evaluate the plumbing situation and discuss practical next steps — whether that is septic tank replacement, continued repair, or a conversation about connecting to municipal sewer.
Signs You May Need Septic Tank Replacement
- A tank that has cracked, collapsed or is leaking
- Persistent backups or drain field failure
- A tank that is undersized for the property's needs
- An aging system with repeated repair costs
- A drain field that no longer absorbs effluent effectively
What Septic Tank Replacement Involves
Septic tank replacement involves evaluating the existing system, decommissioning the old tank, and installing a new one — or, when municipal sewer is feasible, connecting the property to the sewer system instead. CG Plumbing Solutions discusses the condition of the system and the available options, including whether a septic-to-sewer conversion may be appropriate for the property. We help you understand the plumbing situation and the practical next steps before any work begins.
Septic Replacement or Conversion Options
We explain each option and help you choose what fits your property and budget.
Septic Tank Replacement

Septic-to-Sewer Conversion
Connect to municipal sewer where feasible, including possible SNWA financial assistance for eligible properties.
Drain Field Evaluation
Determine whether the field also needs work as part of the replacement scope.

Las Vegas Septic to Sewer Conversion Program
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) operates a voluntary Septic to Sewer Conversion Program to help eligible existing septic-system owners connect to the municipal sewer system. The program is for eligible existing properties with septic systems — new development is not eligible for program funding. The partially funded pathway can cover 85% of eligible conversion costs, up to a maximum benefit of $40,000, subject to eligibility and funding availability.
Up to $40,000 in Eligible Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Assistance
Eligible property owners may qualify for reimbursement of 85% of eligible septic-to-sewer conversion costs, up to a maximum program benefit of $40,000. Eligibility, approved costs, funding availability and reimbursement are determined by the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
What Costs May Be Eligible?
- Permitting and inspection fees
- Connection fees
- Design and engineering costs
- Eligible construction costs, including digging, re-paving, and lateral and main pipeline work on the property and in the public right-of-way
- Like-for-like landscape replacement associated with construction
- Septic abandonment in place (emptying and decommissioning the tank, not removing it)
What Is Not Covered?
- Landscape upgrades beyond like-for-like replacement
- Removal of the septic tank (distinct from abandonment in place)
Septic abandonment in place and septic tank removal are not the same thing. The program may cover approved abandonment in place; it does not cover tank removal. Do not assume removal will be reimbursed.
How the Partially Funded Septic Conversion Program Works
- 01
Check Eligibility
The property owner determines whether the existing property and proposed conversion meet current SNWA requirements.
- 02
Apply to SNWA
Submit the required Septic to Sewer application to the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
- 03
Obtain Required Bids
After application approval, follow SNWA requirements for obtaining official contractor bids.
- 04
Program Review
Required bids and project information are submitted to SNWA for review and approval.
- 05
Complete Approved Conversion
Work proceeds in accordance with the applicable sewer agency and program requirements.
- 06
Project Closeout
Required closeout documentation is submitted to SNWA after completion.
- 07
Reimbursement
After final approval and completion of all applicable requirements, the partially funded pathway can reimburse 85% of eligible expenses up to $40,000.
Program eligibility, contractor requirements, eligible costs, approvals and reimbursement are determined by SNWA and the applicable sewer agency. Customers should confirm current program requirements directly with SNWA before beginning a conversion project.
Program information and funding terms can change. Confirm current eligibility, funding and requirements with the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

Septic Tank Services in ZIP Code 89146
For customers in Section 11 / ZIP 89146, CG Plumbing Solutions provides septic repair, replacement decisions, and guidance when municipal sewer conversion may be an option. Recurring system problems — drainage issues, odors, or repeated symptoms — can indicate that the existing septic system needs evaluation.
When replacement is being considered, we help customers in the 89146 area evaluate whether a new septic system or a connection to municipal sewer is the more practical path. If a sewer main is accessible and the property is eligible, the SNWA Septic to Sewer Conversion Program may help offset conversion costs for existing septic-system owners.
Not every property in ZIP 89146 has access to a sewer main or qualifies for conversion. Checking program eligibility with SNWA before assuming funding is available is the recommended first step.
Location alone does not guarantee program eligibility. Sewer proximity, property eligibility and current SNWA requirements can all affect whether a property can participate.
Repair, Replace, or Convert to Sewer?
The right choice depends on the condition of the existing system, sewer availability, connection feasibility and program eligibility.
Septic Tank Repair
Appropriate when
An identified problem may be repairable and the existing system remains a practical option.
Septic Tank Replacement
Appropriate when
Evaluation shows replacement is the practical path for the existing septic setup.
Septic-to-Sewer Conversion
Appropriate when
Municipal sewer connection is feasible and the property owner wants to evaluate conversion, including possible SNWA financial assistance.
The correct choice depends on the property's condition, sewer availability, feasibility and program eligibility. We help evaluate the situation and explain the options — we do not pressure customers toward conversion or replacement.
