WaterSense partners have helped American consumers save 125 billion gallons of water and more than $2 billion on water and energy bills with WaterSense labeled products over the past five years.


To recognize these partners for their outstanding efforts to help Americans save water, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is accepting applications for the 2012 WaterSense Partner of the Year awards through April 6, 2012. The awards showcase WaterSense partners who have excelled at increasing awareness and understanding of water efficiency and the WaterSense label in the past year.


WaterSense recognizes Partners of the Year in six categories—manufacturers, retailers/distributors, home builders, licensed certification providers, irrigation partners, and promotional partners such as utilities and local governments. Depending on the applicant pool, WaterSense may recognize multiple Partners of the Year or Excellence award winners in any category.


Applicants must have partnered with WaterSense prior to January 1, 2012, and award applications must be submitted online by April 6, 2012.
