Rebates

Many Arizona cities and water providers offer rebates to help you conserve water indoors and outdoors. Rebates can be for high-efficiency fixtures and appliances as well as for converting grass to xeriscape.

My Town's Water

Arizona's large area and range of elevation contribute to the diversity of climate and geography in the state. Understanding how local climate and geography influence your water resources and practices will help you use water more efficiently and create a more sustainable future for water in our state.

Select your county and city to find information on water providers, climate and other valuable information.

Fun Activities for Kids

Kids play an important role in making sure that every drop of water counts. Explore fun ways that you can help save water at home.
