Water you doing to conserve this summer? Secure your spot and join us online for the virtual 2025 SRP Water Conservation Expo from noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, July 15!
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 (limit 1) for $60 plus tax, plus high efficiency spray heads (limit 20) for $2 each plus tax and nozzles (limit 20) for $.50 each plus tax*.
Your irrigation system is dripping with upgrade opportunities.
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. Smart irrigation controllers automatically adjust watering schedules based on local, real-time weather data while giving users 24/7 irrigation system access from anywhere in the world.
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.
SRP has distributed more than 11,000 smart irrigation controllers over the past 17 years! That translates to an estimated 1.5 billion gallons of water saved based on the average household water use of 12,000 gallons per month before installation.

Did you know there might be even more savings available to you?
