SRP Community Irrigation Revitalization Initiative (CIRI)

See our plans to conserve water by helping repair and revitalize eligible private flood irrigation systems in the Valley.

Committed to water conservation

SRP is committed to conserving 5 billion gallons of water as part of our 2035 Sustainability Goals. One way we’re working to achieve that goal is through a new pilot program, the Community Irrigation Revitalization Initiative (CIRI). Some private flood irrigation systems in the Valley are aging and need significant repairs. CIRI aims to empower neighborhoods across the Valley to maximize the benefits of flood irrigation by revitalizing eligible systems to deliver water more efficiently.

While CIRI provides one-time support for improvements, SRP does not provide long-term funding assistance to maintain the system, which remains the responsibility of the property owners.

Assisting with the cost of repairs

CIRI helps connect eligible neighborhoods with SRP and community partners who help with the costs of upfront repairs and improvements, such as:

	Adding covers and grates to prevent clogs
	Piping, lining or repairing parts of the system to improve water delivery
	Upgrading equipment to reduce maintenance demands on neighborhoods

Your neighborhood soaks up the benefits
