Pete the Beak, Tucson Water's mascot and "spokesduck," participates in the mascot dance-off at the Badges & Backpacks event in July 2018.
In 1976, Tucson Water asked its customers to "Beat the Peak" each summer so that Tucson Water could keep critical groundwater wells shut down during months of very high demand. Pete the Beak appeared soon after to help create awareness of how important water efficiency was year-round. His message and materials remain popular with kids and adults to this day. Pete the Beak can be seen at several water-themed events throughout the year.
