Advocacy Partnerships

Water Sense

WaterSense is a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The program provides labeling of water-efficient products and serves as a resource for water conservation. The WaterSense label makes it simple to find water-efficient products that meet EPA's criteria for efficiency and performance. WaterSense-labeled products and services are certified to use at least 20 percent less water, save energy, and perform as well as or better than regular models.

WaterSense partners with manufacturers and other groups to bring water conservation to the communities it serves. These partnerships encourage innovation in manufacturing and support sustainable jobs for American workers.
