LandscapeWateringbytheNumbersCover SAVE OUTDOORS - SAVE BIG!

Did you know that, on average, up to 70% of residential water use in the Valley is outdoors? While it is easy to recognize when you're using water indoors, outdoor water use is more complicated and in the summer months, outdoor water use can more than double. You can cut back on outdoor use by auditing your irrigation system, checking your pool for leaks, and learning about watering your plants efficiently. 

Read your water meterFREE IRRIGATION AUDIT!

Scottsdale's single-family residential homeowners can request a free irrigation audit! An irrigation specialist performs the audit along with the homeowner. During the audit the homeowner is given instruction on how to program the controller, how often to water the landscape and how to repair irrigation problems. Call (480) 312-5650 and request an irrigation audit. One audit per property.
