Every Drop Counts!
What is WaterSense?
WaterSense, sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is a great partnership program that simplifies water conservation. It serves as both a label for water-efficient products and a valuable resource for water-saving tips.
What does WaterSense do?
The WaterSense label provides consumers with an easy way to identify water-efficient products, new homes, and programs that meet the EPA's rigorous criteria for efficiency and performance.
These labeled products use at least 20 percent less water while performing on par with or even better than standard models. In addition, WaterSense collaborates with landscape irrigation professionals certified by labeled programs, emphasizing water efficiency.
Why Promote Water Efficiency?
Water efficiency is a pressing concern in the United States, with water managers in at least 36 states anticipating local, statewide, or regional water shortages in the near future. By promoting water efficiency, we not only address this concern but also save energy, money on utility bills, and improve the quality of our national water resources.
How Can I Get Involved?
Getting involved in water conservation is simple. WaterSense labeled products come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and price points, making it convenient to make sustainable choices without drastically changing our lifestyles. By selecting products with the WaterSense label, you become an active participant in preserving water for future generations.
The benefits of water efficiency extend to everyone:
