About The Wrangler Group:​​​

Be​ginning in 2022, motivated Phoenix residents joined Phoenix Water experts as the first Water Wrangler volunteer cohort to learn more about water resources, treatment, drought, and the role of conservation. These residents wanted to get involved in supporting the City's outreach and education efforts. They believe that water conservation can increase the City's overall resilience and feel that their own contribution to these efforts can result in increased support for efficient and responsible water use.

Wranglers dedicate their time to learning beyond the basics- they are trained in community engagement, peer education, and solution-oriented assistance. Wranglers do their work in public events, educational settings, and in their homes and personal pursuits. Their knowledge and passion help our community to support the Phoenix Culture of Conservation and ensure safe and reliable water service for the future and today.
