The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently recognized the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) as a WaterSense Partner of the Year during the WaterSmart Innovations Conference on September 26 in Las Vegas. TRWD was one of just 10 partners recognized from around the country.
WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the EPA, helps consumers learn ways to save water. More than 2,100 manufacturers, builders, retailers, utilities, government, and nonprofit organizations partner with WaterSense to produce and promote water-efficient products, programs, and homes.
“More than ever, consumers and businesses are looking to conserve resources, cut costs, and reduce their carbon footprint,” said Veronica Blette, Acting Associate Director of the Water Infrastructure Division in the EPA Office of Wastewater Management. “Our WaterSense Award winners for 2024 made it easy for Americans to make water-efficient choices and find WaterSense labeled products and homes that save water, energy, and money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
WaterSense recognized TRWD for their water conservation achievements in 2023 with their second Partner of the Year Award. By working with their customer cities to promote WaterSense and water efficiency, TRWD supported 230 water conservation classes and events, held WaterSense labeled sprinkler controller drawings through the “Save Tarrant Water Monthly Drop” newsletter, and provided more than 200 WaterSense labeled showerheads for exchange in the cities of Arlington and Burleson.
“The EPA WaterSense program provides valuable resources to help meet our water conservation goals,” said Dustan Compton, TRWD’s Conservation Manager. ”When shopping for a new toilet, faucet, showerhead or sprinkler controller, we encourage everyone to look for the half-blue, half-green water drop logo. This means the product has gone through rigorous testing to prove it saves water and still performs at a high level.”
