Rebate Program
The City of Peoria has
established a financial incentive that encourages a permanent
reduction in water used inside and outside of the home.
Utilities customers, who install a hot water recirculator in
their home or convert high water use landscaping to low water
use landscaping (i.e. Xeriscape), may qualify for a credit on
their utility bill.
To obtain more information or
request a rebate application form, visit the City of Peoria
Water Conservation website at
www.conserve.peoriaaz.gov or call (623) 773 - 7286. Once your
account information is verified, an official application
will be sent to you by mail.
Hot Water in
an Instant
Hot water recirculators provide
instant hot water to your faucet, eliminating the need to run
the water for several minutes before receiving hot water. The
device results in less water wasted down the drain and less time
wasted by you!

Xeriscape, Not “Zero-scape”
Xeriscape refers to seven
horticultural principles, which if used properly, ensure
that landscapes are water efficient, yet creative and
colorful: good planning and design, low water use
plants, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, soil
analysis, use of mulches, and appropriate maintenance.
The incorporation of these principles will create an
attractive, low maintenance, water-wise landscape that
is much more than just rock and cacti. By converting
your high water use landscape to Xeriscape, you can save
up to 50% of your outdoor water use and reduce your
water bill significantly! |
