Water Efficiency
Did you know that the American Water Works Association estimates that the average person uses 100 gallons of water a day?
EPA is focused on developing a program that takes a broad approach by setting water efficiency levels for products, in conjunction with manufacturers, utilities and other stakeholders; building partnerships with manufacturers, distributors, utilities and others to promote water efficient products; and promoting an ethic of water efficiency through promotional activities.
EPA has developed a market enhancement program for water efficient products and services in the residential and commercial sectors.
In the fall of 2005, EPA announced that it is supporting the establishment of a national organization in the City of Chicago. The Alliance for Water Efficiency is serving as a national clearinghouse and advocate for water efficiency research, evaluation, and education.
