Scottsdale wants to help you stop sneaky leaks and save water while you’re at it!
Did you know your landscape irrigation system could be quietly wasting water and costing you money without you even noticing?
This city knows that the largest leaks can occur outdoors and they may go unseen, especially the kind that hide underground or blend into the landscape. Even small leaks can add up to thousands of gallons of water lost over time, which is no small matter in the desert.
What to watch for:
- Soggy spots or dark areas
- Unusually green patches in your yard
- A sudden spike in your water bill
If this sounds familiar, it might be time to take a deep dive.
Why it matters
Water is one of Scottsdale’s most precious resources. Every gallon saved helps protect our long-term water supply, supports our community, and ensures we can continue thriving in the Sonoran Desert. Fixing leaks isn’t just about your yard, it’s about our shared future.
