EPA announces it will maintain WaterSense program specifications
Plumbing Manufacturers International applauds decision
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will not make updates or changes to the WaterSense® program specifications, another successful step in IAPMO and its partners’ mission to ensure the program’s long-term viability.
The announcement followed a review as directed by “America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018,” which includes strong language officially authorizing the program in perpetuity. The law required the EPA to “consider for review and revise, if necessary, any WaterSense performance criteria adopted before Jan. 1, 2012.”
