Water is one of our most precious resources, and learning how to conserve it starts with education. When we understand where our water comes from and how our daily choices affect it, we can make a real difference.

For more than 10 years, Tucson Water has partnered with Arizona Project Wet and the Environmental Education Exchange to provide STEM-based water education to teachers and K-12 students. These programs have reached over 6,000 teachers and over 250,000 students!

This month we once again delve into the eerie side of our desert oasis with fictional, ghostly water stories.

This week: "La Llorona"
For generations, stories of La Llorona, or the Weeping Woman, have traveled across Mexico and the American Southwest. Tucson has its own versions of the legend, placing her along the Santa Cruz River and other local waterways.

One autumn evening, after a thunderstorm passed over the valley, a family traveling near the Santa Cruz River heard a woman crying beyond the mesquite trees. Thinking a traveler might need help, they stopped to listen.

A pale woman appeared along the riverbank, gliding over the earth, her long dress barely stirring beside the dark riverbed. She moved toward them, crying softly and calling into the night. Yet as she passed, she never turned to look at the family. She simply continued downstream, her cries fading into the wind.

Within moments, she disappeared among the trees and desert brush. The river fell silent, and the desert seemed to hold its breath. Still, her faint cries drifted through the darkness, calling for her lost family.

Some said it was only the wind. Others knew the old story.

It's easy to take water for granted when it flows with a turn of the tap. But think about how many moments in your day depend on it: your morning coffee, a hot shower, a clean glass for your kids, the garden that keeps your yard green.

On October 15th, communities across the country join the US Water Alliance for Imagine a Day Without Water, a day to recognize the essential role water plays in our lives.

For Tucson Water, this means honoring the generations of work that bring safe, reliable water to the Sonoran Desert, and the people who keep it running every day. Today, we invite you to imagine: what would your life look like without it?

Managing water use in multifamily buildings can be difficult. Leaks may go unnoticed, and old, worn-out fixtures are often costly to replace.

For a limited time, the Multifamily Upgrades Program will provide rebates to underserved multifamily properties to invest in water efficient fixtures and appliances!

Leaks sum up! Take a few minutes to walk around your house and your yard to see if you can spot or hear a water leak.

A showerhead leaking at 10 drips per minute can waste more than 500 gallons per year! That's enough water to wash 60 loads of dishes in the dishwasher.

Finding and fixing leaks on time can save water and money.

Every drop counts!

Did you know that Arizona state law requires Tucson Water to guarantee enough water supply to last our community for the next 100 years? And that's not just for the customers that we have today – our Designation of Assured Water Supply means that growth in our service area can't take place until we've proved Tucson has enough water to sustain new customers.
