Surprise has teamed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program to help homeowners conserve water and lower their water bills.    

The WaterSense program is designed to decrease indoor and outdoor non-agricultural water use through high-efficiency products and simple water-saving practices.

“One of the valuable services the WaterSense program provides is identifying to customers what certified water-efficient products there are available for purchase,” said London Lacy, the city’s water conservation analyst. “WaterSense research finds that adopting water-efficient products and practices can save the average household approximately 30,000 gallons of water per year and that’s enough to supply 150 homes with drinking water for an entire year.”

WaterSense-labeled products, which include high-efficiency toilets, meet EPA’s criteria for efficiency and performance. Certified products may bear the WaterSense label, which makes it easy for consumers to identify and select a variety of products and services for their homes and lawns.
