Report Water Waste
Excess water in our streets is a traffic/pedestrian hazard as well as destructive to the asphalt and can affect property conditions. We ask that you do your part to help conserve this precious resource and make conservation a part of your daily lifestyle. There could be several reasons for water running off properties and into the street. Irrigation valves can stick open or people may forget to turn off hoses. There could also be issues with breaks in pipes or irrigation tubing. Most water wasters simply don’t realize there is a problem. By reporting water waste, you’re actually helping to educate your neighbors and the community about water conservation. When water waste is observed running into the street, please call the Water Conservation Office at 480-782-3580. When calling, please report the address of the problem site and the time of day the problem occurred. If it is an ongoing problem, please indicate this and the frequency of the problem. Within a few days the Water Conservation Office will contact the responsible party by phone, mail or in person to issue a water waste warning – a friendly reminder about the rules. Most people cheerfully correct the issue reported and the process ends there. After a reasonable amount of time has been given to correct the issue, additional reports of water waste at the same location will result in a code violation that could require a court appearance and possible fine. Thank you for caring about conserving water for our future.
