Valley residents are invited to learn how to save water and money by participating in the sixth annual SRP Water Conservation Expo, recognized by customers and exhibitors as one of the Valley’s best water-themed events. Those attending the free expo will learn about water-saving devices for the yard and home and will have an opportunity to talk with on-site landscape professionals. Booths featuring SRP energy-efficiency and environmental programs will also be featured along with several exhibitors with water-saving products or services. Representatives from Valley cities, the Arizona Municipal Water Users’ Association, the Central Arizona Project and the Water Use it Wisely campaign will also attend.
The first 600 SRP electric customers and water shareholders who register for and attend the expo will be eligible to purchase a “smart” irrigation controller for $50 plus tax and save as much as $240 on the retail price of a Rain Bird ESP-SMT4. (Customers are responsible for sales tax on the pre-rate price of $130 for controllers, $28 for modules). The WaterSense-labeled four-station controller, which is easily expandable to 13 stations, uses weather data to manage outdoor watering schedules more effectively; it can deliver water savings of up to 25 percent – a significant savings considering landscape watering can account for up to 70 percent of a household’s water use. Three-station expansion modules are available at the event for $18 per module plus tax. SRP customers who attend the expo will receive a water-saving Niagara showerhead, a $19.95 value, while supplies last. Only one smart irrigation controller rebate and one showerhead are available per household. To register and get more information about the Water Expo and the smart irrigation controller discount, visit www.srpnet.com/water/discount.aspx.
Also available at the expo will be family activities, interactive displays and an exhibit about the Don’t Move a Mussel campaign to keep invasive quagga mussels out of the reservoirs on the Salt and Verde rivers and SRP’s canals in the Valley.
The 2013 SRP Water Conservation Expo is part of SRP’s Together We Conserve campaign, which is being displayed in print, broadcast, outdoor and transit advertising to reinforcing the role water conservation continues to play today. More information is available at www.TogetherWeConserve.com/events
