Water Conservation Is Key In EPA's WaterSense Program
First it was electricity, now it’s water. Taking a cue from its Energy Star program, the Environmental Protection Agency now is implementing the WaterSense water-conservation program to identify and certify products such as toilets, faucets, showerheads and irrigation equipment based on their water-conserving performance. EPA estimates that use of WaterSense products could save 128 billion gallons of water per year in the U.S., enough to supply 3.5 million people.
