WaterSense

What Is WaterSense?

WaterSense is a program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that promotes water efficiency to conserve water resources for future generations. 

The City of Concord has been an EPA WaterSense Promotional Partner since March 2014. Our partnership goal is to help Concord water consumers save water, minimize energy consumption, and potentially even reduce costs on their utility bills. We are committed to preserving the community’s water resource and encourage others to understand the importance of water efficiency to take action to conserve water.

WaterSense Products

WaterSense labeled products are water-efficient products that have earned the WaterSense label from independent, third-party certification for meeting EPA’s specifications for water efficiency and performance. Products that include the WaterSense label are certified to use at least 20% less water than standard products without sacrificing performance. Look for the WaterSense label when upgrading water fixtures to start saving!

Fix A Leak Week

"Fix a Leak Week" is a national campaign hosted by EPA WaterSense each year to encourage water consumers to find and fix household water leaks to save water, energy, and possibly even money on utility bills. This year, "Fix a Leak Week" is March 16-22, 2020. Celebrate with us by being a leak detective and checking for water leaks in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement, and outside. Most leaks are easy to fix, such as a dripping faucet or running toilet. Get involved by joining us for a #FixALeak Twitter Party on March 16th, grab a free Toilet Leak Dye Test Kit at our water billing office, and enter our Royal Leak Detection contest for a chance to win a WaterSense labeled toilet.
