Why Water Conservation Matters
Arizona is one of the driest states in the nation, and water is our most precious resource. Every gallon saved helps ensure a sustainable water supply for future generations while reducing your monthly water bill.
Indoor Water Saving Tips
- Fix Leaks Promptly
A dripping faucet can waste up to 3,000 gallons per year. Check for and repair leaks in faucets, toilets, and pipes. - Install Low-Flow Fixtures
Replace old showerheads and faucets with WaterSense labeled models that use 20% less water. - Shorter Showers
Reduce shower time by just 2 minutes to save up to 10 gallons per shower. - Run Full Loads Only
Wait until you have a full load before running the dishwasher or washing machine.
Outdoor Water Saving Tips
- Water Early or Late
Water your landscape before 10 AM or after 4 PM to minimize evaporation. - Choose Native Plants
Desert-adapted plants require significantly less water than traditional lawns and gardens. - Use Drip Irrigation
Drip systems deliver water directly to plant roots, reducing waste by up to 50%. - Add Mulch
Apply 2-3 inches of mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and keep soil moist longer.
