Decreasing block Uniform Increasing block

• Water resources and infrastructure are stressed across the country

• Non-drought water shortages are expected in 40 states in next 10 years

• Drought and climate change only increases uncertainty and problems

Why Save Water?

June 2014

May 2013

Not Just About Water

• Moving, treating, and heating water uses energy – Every gallon of water has an

energy “footprint” from treatment, delivery, and heating

• Energy used by the Water sector

– Nationally - ~3-4% for distribution – California - ~20% for all water

sector activities – Municipal energy use for water

can be > 40% – System level - energy is one of the

highest utility costs

WaterSense Label Assures Confidence

• WaterSense labeled products are third party certified for both efficiency and performance

• Promote water-efficient behavior and

action
