Water Efficiency Market Enhancement Program

By fostering public/private partnerships, this program promotes the use of more water-efficient products and practices in businesses and homes across the country. This has the potential to save billions of dollars in infrastructure costs, save consumers billions of dollars in water and energy costs, and help protect aquatic ecosystems. EPA is examining options for program design, including information dissemination and a product certification and labeling program. Extensive stakeholder input has been solicited and a preliminary assessment of 41 products has been completed. A more detailed analysis of 14 products is underway.
