EPA WaterSense Providers

If you offer a water-friendly service or product, check into joining the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense Partner Program. WaterSense works with manufacturers, retailers, distributors, irrigation professionals, and professional certifying organizations to bring water-efficient products to market. 

WaterSense-certified products are typically 20 percent or more water efficient than standard products. To become WaterSense certified the product must undergo third-party testing and meet specific criteria. For details, visit the WaterSense Partners website. 

Irrigation professionals will find a wealth of information on water efficiency technologies, processes, manufacturers and equipment through the Irrigation Association.
