Virtual SRP Water Conservation Expo Workshops via Zoom Set for March 13, 16 and 18

WHAT:

Valley residents can learn about SRP’s role in water and how to conserve our precious resource by participating in the free, online 14th Annual SRP Virtual Water Conservation Expo. The expo has been recognized by customers and exhibitors as one of the area’s best water-themed events.

​No matter where you live, water is an important part of our lives and conservation is critical. This statement rings even more true in Arizona. At this year’s expo, online attendees will have the opportunity to hear from water professionals, get water conservation tips and purchase a discounted smart irrigation controller.

After attending the event, virtual expo attendees will have the option to purchase online through Ewing Irrigation, with instant discounts and rebates, either a Hunter Pro-HC with Hydrawise™ or a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler controller.

Participants can enter in a giveaway to win an energy-efficiency prize package valued at $350.

That translates to approximately 160 million gallons of water saved based on the average household water use of 12,000 gallons per month before installation.
