Colorado and Utah partners among 51 national WaterSense awardees making it
easy to save water, improve energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions
Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District; Kearns, Utah Water Improvement
District; and the Utah Division of Water Resources recognized for excellence
DENVER  – Today, September 26, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
recognized three organizations in Region 8 –  the Northern Colorado Water
Conservancy District; the Kearns, Utah Water Improvement District; and the
Utah Division of Water Resources –  with WaterSense®  awards.  These
winners were among 51 awards presented to water utilities, government
agencies, manufacturers, retailers, builders, and other organizations at the
WaterSmart Innovations (WSI) conference in Las Vegas for their support of
EPA’s WaterSense® program.
Today’s winners, along with more than 2,100 other organizations, produced and
promoted WaterSense® labeled products, homes, and programs that helped save
nearly 1.2 trillion gallons of water last year. At the same time, these water
savings helped more efficiently use energy to pump, treat, deliver, and heat
water. WaterSense® is a voluntary program that helps consumers and businesses
easily identify water-saving plumbing and irrigation products, homes, and
professional certification programs.
“I am excited that EPA is recognizing these WaterSense award winners who are
helping protect our water resources while improving energy efficiency, saving
customers’ money, and advancing efforts to manage climate change impacts
like water scarcity and drought,” said EPA Principal Deputy Assistant
Administrator for Water Bruno Pigott. “Since 2006, EPA’s innovative
WaterSense Program has saved 8.7 trillion gallons of water, 997 billion
kilowatt-hours of energy, and $207 billion in water and energy bills!”
This year’s award winners manufactured innovative water-efficient products,
built homes using 30% less water than typical new construction, made
WaterSense labeled products accessible and affordable for consumers, and
implemented creative programs that promote water-saving actions and fixtures.
