Phoenix Offers Financial Incentives to Residents To Help Conserve Water

By on October 2, 2023 0 136Views

Phoenix Water is launching new programs to promote water conservation and help Phoenix customers save money while making the most of the resources available, preserving water for future generations. High-efficiency appliances and fixtures contribute to the City’s overall water conservation goals by offering a low-effort, accessible solution. These items can significantly reduce indoor and outdoor water usage; all you need to do is make the switch.

Water Savings Can Be Beneficial to Residents and the City 

Residents can expect each new toilet and irrigation controller to save approximately 10,000 gallons per year, a substantial savings in water and money over the lifetime of the products.​
