Merrimack Village District (MVD) has teamed with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) WaterSense® program to help consumers and businesses save water for future generations and reduce costs on their utility bills. WaterSense® aims to decrease indoor and outdoor water use through water-efficient products and water-saving practices. The program encourages customers to look for WaterSense® labeled products, which are independently certified to use 20 percent less water and perform as well as or better than standard models. WaterSense® also promotes water-saving techniques and practices that reduce stress on water supplies.
“The goal of EPA’s WaterSense® program is to help Americans save water and money by offering simple ways to reduce water use through water-efficient product choices and practices,” says Veronica Blette, WaterSense® branch chief. “Using water more efficiently can help delay the need to create more supplies, saving communities money and resources, as well as ensuring that water will be available for future generations.”
WaterSense®, a partnership program sponsored by the EPA, seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by offering people a simple way to use less water with water-efficient products, new homes, and services. Since the program's inception in 2006, WaterSense® has helped consumers save trillions of gallons of water and billions in water and energy bills.
