Flagstaff Water Services Receives Two National Water Conservation Awards

Post Date: 9/30/2020

We’re getting closer to our City goal of being a National Leader!

Flagstaff’s Water Conservation Program earned a Gold level on the Alliance for Water Efficiency G480 Leaderboard, in recognition of Water Services’ incorporation of voluntary industry standards that promote water efficiency. The G480 Standard identifies critical elements of an effective water conservation program, such as dedicated staff for conservation efforts, a water waste ordinance, universal metering practices, a landscape efficiency program, and a water loss control program. Flagstaff is the first city in Arizona to join other top utilities in the nation on the Leaderboard, demonstrating an innovative and successful water conservation program!

The Environmental Protection Agency awarded Flagstaff a 2020 WaterSense Excellence Award, for its promotion of WaterSense-labeled products, designed to reduce water consumption and save money. In 2019, Water Conservation staff helped businesses and residents replace 1,150 toilets, 2,080 showerheads and 3,500 aerators through rebates, incentive programs and product giveaways. As an EPA WaterSense partner, Flagstaff consistently promotes water efficiency and WaterSense products.
