Tips

Tip 1: Be a leak detective in your home, place of work, and/or community.

  • Visit the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association's leak-finding web resource at smarthomewaterguide.org.
  • Trust your senses! If you hear, see, or smell a leak, talk to the building maintenance team, your HOA, your landlord, or a plumber if it is happening in your own home.

Tip 2: Check your water bill.

Tip 3: Consider your outdoor water use

Did you know that, on average, 55% of the water that we use at home is used outdoors? The potential to save water can be just as big! Learn more with our Outdoor Conservation Resources.
