Community Education and Outreach

The Community Education program provides opportunities for Sierra Vista and Cochise County's residents to learn how to conserve water. This is accomplished through workshops, hands-on demonstrations, residential and commercial consultations.

Residential Site Visits

Water Wise will visit your home free of charge to give you ideas and tips on making your home landscape beautiful-as well as water efficient. We make recommendations on lowering indoor and outdoor water use; graywater; water harvesting; watering trees, shrubs and bedding plants; lawn and plant care and help with irrigation systems. For residents of Cochise County, call our Sierra Vista office at 520-458-8278 extension 2139 to set up an appointment.

Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Assistance

The ICI program focuses on the commercial sector and provides conservation incentives through analysis of water use and specific recommendations with quantified water savings. The ICI program also assists the Upper San Pedro Partnership, chairing the Retail Committee, with their Water Conservation Grant program, as well delivering Uppercut Flushometer toilet valves to businesses to replace outdated commercial toilet valves.
