These incentives are aimed at encouraging the adoption of high-efficiency appliances and fixtures, saving water, and reducing household expenses.<br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Residents can begin the application process by visiting the <a href="/waterservices/water-conservation-incentives" target="_blank">Water Conservation Incentives webpage​</a>. </strong></div><div><br></div><div>"Phoenix families understand the value of water and want to do their part to conserve this precious resource, which is why the City of Phoenix is working to make it even easier to do.

As Phoenix works to lead the region in sustainable development and advanced water purification, these programs are additional tangible ways we can support our water security now and for generations to come," Mayor Gallego said.<br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Key Highlights of the Incentive Program:<br><br></strong></div><div><ul><li><strong>Water-Efficient Toilet</strong><strong>s</strong>: Residents can receive a $75 rebate for the purchase and installation of a new EPA WaterSense-labeled toilet of 1.28 Gallons Per Flush (GPF) or less.<br><br></li><li><strong>Smart Irrigation Controller: </strong>A $75 incentive is available for the purchase and installation of an EPA WaterSense-labeled smart irrigation controller.</li></ul></div><div>Both these devices can lead to an estimated saving of approximately 10,000 gallons of water per year for each household.<br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Eligibility and Application Process:</strong></div><div><br></div><div>The program is open to single-family residential households or renters who are City of Phoenix water utility customers.

The new nine-mile concrete and steel pipeline, which is now in service, can move 75 million gallons of water daily to North Phoenix. The final segment of pipe was installed at N 32nd Street & E Shea Boulevard in<strong> </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/QcOYaZEFNy0?si=wOPraOiKdNruIXrg"><strong>January 2023</strong></a>, and the pipeline had been undergoing testing since March 2023 to ensure seamless operation. <br></div> <div> <br> </div> <div>"The completion of the Drought Pipeline Project is a significant milestone for our community, providing assurance for residents and businesses in the northern part of our city and reducing our dependence on the Colorado River," Mayor Gallego said. “We will continue to build upon our legacy of wise water stewardship to ensure a more sustainable future."</div> <div> <br> </div> <div>The $280 million project will give Phoenix the capability to move Salt and Verde River water to parts of the city where 400,000 people have relied on Colorado River water.
