EPA Recognizes 2016 WaterSense Partners of the Year

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is honoring 20 businesses, municipalities, utilities and organizations for their commitment to protecting the environment through water efficiency. This year, EPA is marking the tenth anniversary of its WaterSense program, which EPA says has helped Americans save more than 1.5 trillion gallons of water and $32.6 billion in water and energy bills since 2006.

“Over the past decade, EPA’s WaterSense partners have made WaterSense more than just a label. It’s become a way of life,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “Our changing climate impacts water quality and supplies. And we need to ensure that more Americans are saving water now so that we can protect this precious resource for future generations.”
