Water Conservation in Flagstaff, Arizona

 

Research
and Products :

Urban Water Study This
study examines the emergence of water conservation measures
in Flagstaff, Arizona, given the city’s current biophysical
and socio-economic profile. During recent years, similar
to many other non-metropolitan areas in the West, Flagstaff
is facing on-going drought conditions, an economy increasingly
dependent on natural amenity values, and population growth.

Turf Removal
Rebate Form – Commercial and Residential Common Areas

(pdf / 133 kb / 2 pgs) PURPOSE

The intent of the rebate program is to reduce outdoor water use

through the installation of lowwater- use, drought-enduring landscaping.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The commercial/residential common areas landscape rebate is effective

beginning August 5, 2005, and replaces all previous landscape rebate

programs. Properties that have received rebate credit in a previous

landscape rebate program or have converted turf

landscaping prior to August 5, 2005, are not eligible. The
landscape rebate is a one-time credit per property that

will be applied to the water bill.

A rebate is offered for the removal of turf from the landscape and

installation of city-approved landscaping. The rebate amount is

calculated based upon the costs for conversion and is limited to

no more than $3,000. Rebate amount is figured at 25% of total

costs (excluding taxes).

State of Nevada

Back in
2002, the State of Nevada started rebates to the public and private section
if they removed natural grass surfaces (lawns, fields, etc) that required
watering IF they replaced these areas with landscape elements that were
attractive and effective and required NO water. By creating an incentive
of $1 per SF to get rid of their residents water wasting lawns, common
areas and sports fields, Nevada has enjoyed a rebounding success in water
conservation; saving water, decreasing the use of a high percentage of
harmful lawn care products, decreasing the use of mowers and other powertools
helps to clean the air and overtime, other positive effects, we hope,
as well.Southern
Nevada Water Authority – http://www.snwa.comSNWA
announced in May 2008 – they had reached 100 million square feet of converted
landscape – saving in excess of 6 billion gallons of water, now available
for other uses … THE most successful conservation rebate program in
the USA, SNWA’s a great example of how, through planning and administration,
self-funding rebate programs can help US citizens make great choices to
reduce or eliminate waste of water and other natural resources.
