The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Rules state that all discharges of reclaimed water are prohibited. A discharge is defined as any volume of reclaimed water that, for any reason, leaves the site where its use is permitted.
Example: If a private irrigation system pipe breaks and reclaimed water runs into the adjacent public street, this is considered a discharge.
Reporting Discharges
- Residents are encouraged to report discharges. If you are a reclaimed water customer, failure to report a discharge from your property could result in the termination of your reclaimed water service.
- Please answer each of the questions below and click on "submit" when finished. This will send a report to Tucson Water and we will notify ADEQ of the discharge.
- We may contact you for additional information or a Cross Connection Control Specialist may visit your site to ensure that the problem has been corrected.
