SRP Launches New Program Allowing Residents to Invest in Forest Thinning Projects

Fatigued by last year’s record-setting fire season? If you’re an SRP customer, you can make a monetary donation to prevent future fires. In November, the utilities giant launched a new program that allows residential users to invest $3 per month in strategic forest thinning projects, which officials say will protect the watersheds that provide H2O to the Phoenix metro. “Arizona forests are not only essential to the Valley’s water supply, but they also provide a beautiful setting for recreational activities for thousands of people every year,” SRP forest management principal Elvy Barton says. “Our customers and community want to help prevent devastating wildfires and be a part of the solution.” srpnet.com
