Salt River Project is providing financial support to two Tempe programs designed to conserve water.

The utility recently announced a $10,000 annual contribution – $50,000 over five years –  to support the city’s non-residential landscape conversion program and a similar contribution for Tempe’s cooling tower rebate program for non-residential customers.

The landscape program offers an incentive for Tempe’s commercial water customers to convert to desert-friendly landscaping, according to an SRP release.
