Customer Spotlight: How One Tucson Family Cut Their Outdoor Water Use by 40%
When the Ramirez family moved into their home near Oro Valley, they loved everything about it—the spacious backyard, mountain views, and warm desert breeze. But there was one thing they didn’t love: their skyrocketing water bill.
Month after month, their outdoor water use kept rising—even though they were careful about watering. They knew something wasn’t right, and that’s when they called Conserva Irrigation of Tucson East for help.
The Hidden Issues Beneath the Surface
During our comprehensive system inspection, our team uncovered several common but costly problems:
Misaligned sprinkler heads
Overlapping watering zones
An outdated controller that watered far too often
The Ramirezes’ system was operating on a “set it and forget it” schedule that didn’t account for Tucson’s climate—watering heavily even after rainfall or during cooler weather. These inefficiencies added up to hundreds of wasted gallons each week.
The Conserva Solution
Our technicians developed a customized plan to modernize the Ramirezes’ system and make it truly water-smart.
Here’s what we did:
Installed a weather-based smart controller that automatically adjusts watering based on local conditions.
Replaced outdated spray heads with precision nozzles for even coverage and minimal waste.
Repaired multiple underground leaks that had been silently draining both water and money.
The results were immediate. Within just one month, the Ramirez family saw a 40% reduction in outdoor water use. Their plants began thriving again, their soil stayed balanced, and their water bill finally reflected their conservation efforts.
