The Hidden Costs of Water Waste – Why Efficiency Matters

Water is one of Tucson’s most precious resources, and wasting it comes with hidden costs beyond your monthly utility bill. Let’s show why water efficiency matters this April—for your wallet, landscape, and the environment.

Leaking irrigation systems are a common source of water waste. A single unrepaired leak can waste thousands of gallons of water each year. Beyond the financial cost, this excess water can damage your landscape by oversaturating the soil, leading to root rot and attracting pests. Identifying and repairing leaks early is essential for maintaining a healthy yard.

Overwatering is another costly mistake. Not only does it waste water, but it can also harm your plants. Excess moisture can create the perfect conditions for fungal growth and soil compaction, which stunts root development. An intelligent irrigation controller helps prevent these issues by adjusting your watering schedule based on weather and soil conditions.

On a larger scale, water waste contributes to the strain on Tucson’s already limited water supply. By adopting efficient irrigation practices, homeowners can help conserve this vital resource for future generations.
