Population increases, supply issues, extreme weather, inefficiency and waste also mean it’s time to strengthen water efficiency efforts, particularly in the landscape and irrigation industries.

At SiteOne, we’re committed to helping contractors navigate these changes and grow their businesses. One of the best ways to set yourself apart is by leveraging the WaterSense program. WaterSense, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) founded brand, is a voluntary partnership program that offers a simple way for consumers to identify water-efficient products to be used in homes, yards, businesses and more. 

What is WaterSense?

WaterSense is an EPA-sponsored program that promotes water-efficient products and practices. It’s designed to help businesses and homeowners save water without sacrificing performance. And, through the partnership program they’ve established, they are spreading their reach. 

Why WaterSense Matters for Contractors

For contractors, WaterSense is more than just a certification – it’s a business opportunity. By offering WaterSense-compliant solutions, you demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and compliance with water regulations, giving you a competitive advantage in the market. Landscape irrigation causes large waste in water. By properly managing water usage, you can help reduce annual water use by nearly 8,800 gallons. (EPA)

Many municipalities have water restrictions in place, requiring the use of WaterSense-labeled products for new irrigation installations. By staying ahead of these trends, you position yourself as a go-to expert in sustainable irrigation. Also, contractors who are familiar with requirements around water regulations are more likely to win jobs on lucrative projects. 

WaterSense Partners like SiteOne are helping consumers utilize water more efficiently. Becoming a partner can benefit builders, contractors, manufacturers and more by showing consumers their commitment to water efficiency. Plus, partners gain access to educational resources and materials on how other partners are promoting WaterSense and water efficiency.
