About two-thirds of Scottsdale's water is sourced from the Central Arizona Project, a network of aqueducts, tunnels, pumping plants, and pipes that transport Colorado River water to Pima, Pinal, and Maricopa counties.
Despite experiencing a wet and snowy winter season, officials emphasize that one year of good precipitation cannot reverse decades-long drought conditions. Further shortages in the Colorado River supply are anticipated. Consequently, residents and businesses in Scottsdale are being urged to reduce their water usage by at least 5%.
Scottsdale Water offers assistance for this initiative. Residents can schedule an irrigation system checkup with a certified specialist who will help identify leaks and ensure proper programming of irrigation systems. To arrange a checkup, individuals can call 480-312-5650.
Additionally, there are incentives available for those who save water through various rebates. Customers can also monitor their water usage in real time and receive leak notifications via the WaterSmart portal.
