SRP Virtual Water Conservation Expo: Learn How to Save Water, Save $$$ Online
Secure your spot and join us online for the 2024 SRP Virtual Water Conservation Expo™ from noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, April 23 and 9 to 10 a.m., Saturday, April 27. This one-hour virtual webinar is available to anyone with a smart phone or computer who wants to learn how to reduce water use and purchase a smart irrigation controller for $60 plus tax*.
Up to 70 percent of household water use is outdoors, which can lead to waste if lawn sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are not properly programmed and maintained. SRP has distributed more than 10,800 smart irrigation controllers over the past 16 years. That translates to approximately 217 million gallons of water saved based on the average household water use of 12,000 gallons per month before installation.
The virtual water expo provides an opportunity for residents to hear from experts about water stewardship, conservation and SRP’s role in managing the Valley’s water including:
- Surface Water Resources – Discover the strategies and practices SRP uses to maintain a resilient and reliable water supply.
- Forest Restoration Partnerships – Learn about the SRP Healthy Forest Initiative and how SRP is working with partners on forest restoration projects.
- New Water Resiliency Projects – Hear about the Bartlett Modification Project and other SRP projects with partners that will help ensure water resiliency for Central Arizona.
- Water Conservation – Get tips on how you can conserve water at your home, including a toilet leak test and online resources.
- Ewing and Controller presentations – Presentations from Ewing Outdoor Supply, Hunter Industries and Rachio.
Viewers will also have an opportunity to ask a water expert in real-time about SRP’s water stewardship and the smart irrigation instant rebate program.

Smart controllers automatically create watering schedules using real-time weather data and on-site conditions to determine your landscape watering needs. When you install a smart irrigation controller (not for flood irrigation), you can reduce your water usage by up to 20 percent, saving water and money.
