Case Studies for Arizona

Title: Arizona: Scottsdale

Subtitle: Education Campaign Helps Reduce Septic System Threats

Case Study Type: Protection

Description: Scottsdale, AZ, one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S., provides water for its 218,000 residents through a variety of surface and ground water sources, the latter of which have become increasingly vulnerable to contamination by septic systems. The City is developing outreach materials for the public about septic systems, their operation, appropriate landscaping, preventing failures, and issues specific to septic systems and Scottsdale's arid environment. To complement this project, the City has undertaken a series of WHP efforts, including a well abandonment program, a planned well inventory and classification project, and continued well maintenance and sanitary sealing.
