WaterSense Labeled Products Helped American Businesses and Homeowners Save
Over a Trillion Gallons of Water in 2023
WASHINGTON—Today, June 12, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
WaterSense program has made it easy for consumers and businesses to save
trillions of gallons of water. In 2023, alone WaterSense labeled products
helped save 1.2 trillion gallons of water. Since the conception of the
WaterSense label, EPA has helped save nearly 8.7 trillion gallons of water,
which is the amount of water that is used by all U.S. households in a year.
“By reducing the energy associated with delivering, heating, and treating
that water, EPA’s WaterSense program has also reduced a significant amount
of greenhouse gas emissions,” said EPA Director of the Office of
Wastewater Management Dr. Andrew Sawyers. “We’re proud to have helped
American businesses and homes save over a trillion gallons of water in 2023
alone.”
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by EPA, is both a label for
water-efficient products and a resource for helping you save water. WaterSense
seeks to protect the future of the nation’s water supply by offering
Americans a simple guide to use less water with water-efficient products,
homes, and services. WaterSense labeled products are independently certified
to use 20% less water and perform as well or better than standard models. The
program was launched in 2006, and there are more than 45,900 labeled
toilets, faucets, faucet accessories, showerheads, irrigation controllers, and
spray sprinkler bodies; and more than 10,000 WaterSense labeled homes.
More than 2,200 utilities, communities, manufacturers, home builders,
retailers, and other organizations have partnered with WaterSense to create
and promote toilets, faucets, showerheads, spray sprinkler bodies, irrigation
controllers, and homes that are independently certified to use less water
while maintaining performance. With an easy-to-spot label, WaterSense makes it
easy to save not just water but also energy and money on utility bills.
Since 2006, WaterSense labeled products have helped save 997 billion kilowatt
hours of electricity in the United States—enough energy to supply a year’s
worth of power to more than 92 million homes—and eliminated more than 379
million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is the equivalent of
removing more than 90 million cars from the roads for a year. Using WaterSense
labeled products has also saved consumers $207 billion in water and energy
bills over the past 17 years.
To make it easy to find plumbing and irrigation products that are certified to
save water and perform well, consumers and businesses can search for
WaterSense labeled products. Learn more about the 2023 WaterSense
