Water conservation on outdoor landscaping has been the Town’s primary focus. Indoor water conservation is important, but since almost all of the water used inside is captured, treated and used to recharge the aquifer, water use indoors still gets recycled. Water used outside typically evaporates and cannot be reused within our local watershed. The best way to conserve water is to be careful about outdoor water use.
Information about water conservation techniques can be found on the regional WaterSmart outreach program. WaterSmart information can be found in the racks on the second floor of the Prescott Valley Civic Center
(7501 E. Civic Circle) or online at http://www.yavapaiwatersmart.org/.
The Town does not offer appliance or toilet rebate programs, but does try to set a good example by reducing its own water use at public spaces. The Town received a grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to replace the irrigation timers at Town parks with smart irrigation clocks. The smart technology calculates water needs for the turf based on weather data and provides alerts about possible broken sprinkler heads to Parks Department staff. Town staff estimate that the smart irrigation technology saves about 15% in water use over the old irrigation timers.
More information on these various programs can be obtained from the Water Resource Manager at 928-759-3105 or jmunderloh@pvaz.net.
