Flint Water Festival Partners With EPA’s WaterSense® Program to Promote Water
Efficiency

FLINT, Mich. (March 22, 2021) - Flint Water Festival has teamed with the U.S. 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 though 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.”

The average family can save nearly 38,000 gallons of water per year by retrofitting its home with
WaterSense labeled fixtures and ENERGY STAR® qualified appliances. If every home in the
United States upgraded to WaterSense labeled fixtures and ENERGY STAR qualified
appliances, we could save nearly 4 trillion gallons of water and nearly $40 billion in water costs
across the country annually

“The Flint Water Festival is proud to be a WaterSense partner,” said Kay Smith, Founder. “We
look forward to working with communities to improve water efficiency awareness and promote
WaterSense labeled products and water-saving practices inside and out.”

Product categories eligible for the WaterSense label include toilets, bathroom faucets and
accessories, showerheads, flushing urinals, weather-based irrigation controllers, and spray
sprinkler bodies. WaterSense also offers a label for single-family homes and multifamily units
that use less water and labels programs that certify landscape irrigation professionals that have
demonstrated their knowledge of water-efficient practices.
