This article discusses a pilot program conducted by the city of Phoenix, Arizona, to examine
methods for promoting indoor and outdoor water savings among
single-family households. BBC Research & Consulting (BBC) of
Denver, Colorado, conducted in-home visits with residential customers
in 36 homes in August and September 2007. The purpose of
the visits was to better understand how customers perceive and use water, test
acceptance of personalized water conservation tips and technologies, gauge
water use behaviors, and gather preliminary evidence on what effect such
visits might have on single-family water use. The article summarizes
the effect of the in-home
visits, including any changes in:
reported behavior of households
related to water use;
household appliances, fixtures,
and other water-using characteristics
of the home; and, recorded water use, based on an
analysis of water use records provided
by the city of Phoenix for the
period 2006-08. Includes table, figures.
