The Community
Marana Water serves over 6,400 accounts, both residential and commercial. In September 2015, 54 million gallons of water was provided to these customers. Fall is quickly approaching and Marana Water is starting to see the decrease in water use each month. The highest water use months so far in 2015 have been, unsurprisingly, June - August. These summer months typically see higher use from customers who maintain pools or water plants a little more frequently when dealing with the desert sun. The Environmental Protection Agency has tips and information on how to conserve water, facts about energy, and special tips to use if there is a drought.

Water is a vital part of everyday lives. Imagine a day without turning on the tap, taking a shower, or watering plants. The average Marana Water customer uses about 7,000 gallons per month. On average, water is used most frequently by toilets, showers, and other miscellaneous activities around the house. Further, a large portion of water used each year goes to irrigation. These systems can be a common source of leaks around the home. Click here are some tips for helping conserve water when irrigating your home.
Marana Water understands the importance of water conservation and there are several programs of which our customers can take advantage to help conserve water at home. We provide water meter monitors, which allow customers to read their water meter when convenient to identify areas of potential high water use. We can also provide certain water auditing services at a customer's home to help identify where a leak may be. Please call the office at 520-382-2570 or stop by the office at 5100 W Ina Road to get more information. There are some complimentary dye test and fact sheets available.
