Prescott Valley residents have done an admirable job of conserving water. The Town’s overall per-capita use rate is less than 100 gallons per day; one of the lowest water use rates among Arizona’s regulated municipalities. A downward trend in daily water use began with the implementation of tiered water rates in 2004. These rates provide an economical base quantity of water (e.g. 8,000 gallons/month for residential) and then increase in unit cost above the base quantity.

Per-person water use is calculated by dividing the total volume of water pumped by the Town of Prescott Valley for its customer by the total population within the Town’s service area. This includes water used throughout the community for parks, commercial uses and delivery losses. In 2013, the average indoor residential use was estimated to be 58 gallons per person per day while the other 35 gallons per person per day were used on landscaping, parks, businesses, schools and other community uses.
