The utilities — which include

Tucson Water, Oro Valley Water, Marana Water, and Metro Water — are providing resources for residents considering pool removal.
The website, poolremovalhelp. org, states that one in six pool owners would like to get rid of their backyard pools, but most people simply don’t have the information they need.
According to the website, their most common questions are:
• How much is it costing me to maintain an unwanted pool?
• What are all the benefits of removing my pool?
• What are my pool removal options, and what do they cost?
http://www.poolremovalhelp.org • How do I find someone to remove my pool, or get DIY guidance?
They can find answers to those questions and more at poolremovalhelp.org.
For example, to get to the bottom of the costs of an unwanted pool, the site takes visitors to a “savings estimator,” where pool owners can input various parameters into the online calculator and get an estimate of what their pool is costing them.
To help homeowners consider the benefits, the website points to financial savings, in addition to conserving water, energy, and time. It’s also safer for small children, pets, and vulnerable adults, and it frees up backyard space, the website states.
For removal options, the website lists four options: 1. Quick fill – cheap, quick, but incomplete; it leaves the pool decking. 2. Demo & fill – no visible trace of the pool remains, with pool edge & decking buried; the owner can relandscape the entire area.
3. Exhume – the most expensive approach, with all components of the pool dug up and hauled away; this is necessary if the owner wants to build on the spot where the pool was located.
4. Repurpose – options include a buried rainwater harvesting cistern, small pond, or water feature.
And to find a company that will do the job, the website directs visitors to a list of local contractors.
