DISTRICT CHALLENGE
- Tempe receives around 9 inches of rainfall annually.
- Arizona’s drought conditions have been ongoing since 1994.
- Water and utilities are the school district’s No. 2 expense behind salaries.
- Plant operations and facility managers knew proper equipment maintenance, monitoring and improvement measures were necessary to optimize conservation efforts but lacked the bandwidth to execute.
