COVID-19 Update
Some information on these pages may be out of date or moot following Gov. Doug Ducey’s March 25 order barring Pima County from taking additional mitigation efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19. We will update these pages as soon as necessary and possible.
Our mission is to protect the public health, safety, and the environment by providing quality service, environmental stewardship, and renewable resources. We design, manage and maintain 3,500 miles of the sanitary sewer (conveyance) system and two metropolitan and six sub-regional water reclamation facilities.
We are doing our part to protect the environment by recycling our most precious resource, water. Pima County uses its highly treated recycled, or reclaimed water, in a myriad of ways including irrigation of County parks, golf courses and ball fields.
Utilizing reclaimed water for irrigation is a highly sustainable activity that saves groundwater and Colorado River water for drinking. Reclaimed water is also used to sustain and improve aquatic and wildlife habitats, for dust control and for long-term storage in our underground aquifers. Experts from around the world visit Pima County to study the regional reclaimed water system, which demonstrates effective water recycling techniques in the desert.

Instructions for searching Historical Sewer Connection Records Database
Use this link to look for historical sewer connection “cards” supplied by the plumber after installation of a residential sewer connection: Historical Sewer Connection Records
Please note that the database records contains mostly older connections made in the City of Tucson, and the process of receiving sewer cards dwindled and eventually stopped after 2000.

Tips for using the document search tool:
- Enter a search value in only one of the fields and click ‘Search’.
-
Using an asterisk symbol (*) at the end, beginning, or on both sides of your entry will show all records with the entry and anything else in place of the asterisk.
Example: In the Address field, entering RIVER* will show every record with an address that starts with RIVER.
- To get the most records, use the asterisk (*) on both sides of your search.
Example: Placing and asterisk on both sides of *RIVER* will show every record that has the word RIVER somewhere in the address.
