Test your WaterSense

If your water and energy bills have been too high for your liking, it might be time to test your WaterSense. The Enviromental Protection Agency sponsors a program called WaterSense which aims to cut back on the use of natural water resources. The program recommends and certifies fixtures that utilize less water than necessary and that help save energy. If you are especially unhappy with your water bills, you may want to look into a more efficient faucet or water saving toilet.

WaterSense Faucets

WaterSense, a program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has set standards for a variety of different bathroom fixtures to mainly help save water and energy. Replacing your current bathroom parts with these water saving alternatives will also benefit you in the form of a smaller water bill.

According to the EPA, a WaterSense approved faucet can...

• save at least 500 gallons of water per household in one year
• decrease demands on water heaters
• save energy

The WaterSense approved faucets are available in different colors and styles to match your bathroom, and they help save money! Learn more about the WaterSense certification and check out a few certified faucets below.
