PASCO COUNTY – Pasco County Utilities received a Meritorious Award as part of the 2024 Water Conservation Awards for Excellence.
The honor celebrates innovative and outstanding achievements in water efficiency across Florida.
The Florida Section of the American Water Works Association presented the award to Water Conservation & Efficiency Coordinator Phoenix McKinney, highlighting her work on the “Reactive Focused Assistance Site Visit” program, which offers free, onsite assistance to help customers identify leaks or other issues contributing to high water use.
“Our goal is to help customers pinpoint the cause of their high-water use and then reduce it,” McKinney said. “Thanks to our program, customers we’ve worked with are saving between 1,000 and 30,000 gallons of water every month.”
During a six-month period in 2024, Pasco County Utilities provided onsite assistance to 41 homeowners, resulting in an overall savings of about 313,500 gallons of water per month.
The program isn’t just for residential customers.
Any Pasco County Utilities’ account holder – including HOA board members, community management professionals, commercial property owners and model home sales teams – can request a site visit or consultation.
