Water Efficiency Programs

Arizona Rinse Smart is a new water conservation/efficiency program for the food industry. This is a “direct installation” program consisting of the replacement of high use, low pressure pre-rinse spray nozzles, with low use, high pressure spray valves.

The restaurant industry is a prime focus for water conservation since as much as two-thirds of the water use for restaurants occurs in the dishwashing process. New higher pressure nozzles use half as much water as the standard nozzles. When older nozzles are replaced, restaurants can achieve both water and energy savings. Results from other programs have shown savings for small restaurants averaging 50,000 gallons per year.

Communities around the state are partnering with the Arizona Department of Water Resources and other agencies to implement this program.
