by AF0919c3 — September 22, 2008—American Water Works Company, Inc., has joined the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program. The goals of this program are to use water resources more efficiently to preserve them for future generations and reduce water and wastewater infrastructure costs by reducing unnecessary water consumption.
The EPA launched the WaterSense program in 2006 to stimulate more efficient use of water in homes. This voluntary partnership promotes water efficiency and primes market demand for water-efficient products and services that reduce stress on water systems and the environment.
As an official WaterSense promotional partner, American Water will join the other 993 partners currently in the program that promote the concept of water efficiency, water saving practices and WaterSense labeled products.
WaterSense labeled products, including high-efficiency toilets and faucets, are at least 20 percent more efficient than their counterparts. WaterSense is also labeling certification programs for irrigation professionals, helping to encourage water efficiency in the landscaping business.
