Updated Services
We are updating our residential services to better meet our diverse community’s needs, enhance our educational offerings, and focus on improving watershed health. The Green Living Co-op is winding down in 2022 in order for us to better assist people with affordable, hydro-local home projects. New Co-op projects will not be scheduled moving forward.
Specialist Visit ($75/hour)
Would you like specific help with planning or trouble-shooting sustainable systems? We can help! Our staff can help you understand how your system works, and will troubleshoot and can advise you on how to solve the issues. We can advise on the following topics: passive and active rainwater harvesting systems, greywater systems, composting toilets, rain gardens, and native and edible gardens.
Specialist Visits are hourly (1 hour minimum) including time for driving from our office (1137 N Dodge Blvd. Tucson, AZ 85716). After the first hour we charge for half hour increments. A typical Specialist Visit is two hours accounting for travel and on site consultation, but times may vary due to your distance from our office and the time for discussion during the visit. The specialist you speak with will suggest any follow-up information that could be provided by email. We recommend you join a free rainwater rebate or greywater rebate class before scheduling a Specialist Visit.
For qualifying households we off our Specialist Visits at a discounted hourly rate.
