What Does It Take to Be a Water Wise Business?

First, one month of the Check Up. We will provide free water-efficient devices like aerators, showerheads, and pre-rinse spray valves (for commercial kitchens). If you qualify for rebates - we'll help walk you through that application process. If your business has landscaping, we'll provide a monthly watering budget, based on Flagstaff's unique climate.

Second, meet these Criteria:

Ensure all leaks are fixed.
Ensure that all toilets operate at minimum, at the federal plumbing standard of 1.28 gallons/flush.
Ensure that all faucets (excluding utility sinks) have aerators that meet, at minimum, federal plumbing standards.
Meet other federal plumbing standards, as applicable, based on findings by the Water Conservation Staff.
Work with Water Conservation Staff on an outdoor watering budget, if applicable.
Invite Water Conservation Staff back for final inspection once the above criteria have been met.

FINALLY: Receive the Water Wise Business Certification and we'll promote your savings online, with a certificate and we'll make a video with you!

My water bill is so low; why should I worry about conservation?

We want to use our water resources responsibly and ensure the long-term supply of our water sources. As our town grows, its even more critical to use water wisely. Conservation can help delay expensive projects to acquire new water sources.
