 Understanding the Powerful Role of Reclaimed Water

For nearly 40 years, Tucson Water has been recycling treated wastewater into reclaimed water and delivering it for specific applications. Using reclaimed water, delivered via the “purple pipe” distribution system, conserves billions of gallons of tap water each year and more! Learn the facts about reclaimed water here. |

“How do I report water waste?”
For non-emergency water waste, call 520-791-2514 or email WaterWaste@tucsonaz.gov to submit a report with a Tucson Water conservation inspector. (To report emergency leaks, call 520-791-4133.) They will investigate your report, so please provide basic info: contact name and number, incident location, description of leak, and incident time and date.
Since 1984 in Tucson, it is unlawful to allow water to escape from premises onto neighboring homes or public property such as alleys and streets. Although Water Waste Ordinance violations carry potential fines and service shut off, the goal of inspectors is to stop waste and educate on efficiency opportunities.
