About WaterSense
  WaterSense is a partnership program
  sponsored by the U.S. Environmental
  Protection Agency (EPA). Its mission
  is to protect the future of our
  nation's water  supply by promoting
  and enhancing the market for water-
  efficient products and programs.
Consumers can easily recognize
water-efficient products with the
WaterSense label. WaterSense
labeled products:

•  Offer equivalent or superior performance.
•  Are about 20 percent more water-efficient than
  the average product in the same category.
•  Are independently certified by a licensed certify-
  ing body to confirm that the products meet
  EPA criteria for efficiency and performance.
•  Will result in tangible savings for both
  consumers and utilities.

"Having promotional materials
available through WaterSense
is convenient and saves us
time and money."

Why Partner With WaterSense?
Water. It's in high demand and short supply in
many markets. Faced with population increase,
supply issues, aging infrastructure, climate
change, and consumer waste, you know it's
time to amplify your water-efficiency outreach
efforts.

Using water more efficiently makes sense for
consumers, communities, and the environment.
Water-efficiency measures, as part of broader
conservation efforts, can help reduce water and
wastewater infrastructure costs and conserve
resources for future generations.

WaterSense understands these goals. That's why
EPA developed a credible, national brand with a
strong and consistent water-efficiency message.
Working together, we can promote the value  of
water and help consumers and organizations
make smart choices regarding water use and
water-using products.
