Smart Rain Wins 2022 WaterSense® Excellence Award

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Smart Rain with a 2022 EPA WaterSense Excellence Award for helping people save water. In recognition of their commitment to promoting EPA WaterSense and water efficiency in 2021, Smart Rain was honored during the WaterSmart Innovations (WSI) Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas.

EPA WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by EPA, is both a label for water-efficient products, programs, and a resource for helping consumers learn ways to save water. Since 2006, more than 2,100 EPA WaterSense partners and over 40,000 models of certified water-efficient plumbing and irrigation products have helped consumers and businesses save 6.4 trillion gallons of water—enough water to supply all households in the United States with water for eight months.

In addition to water savings, EPA WaterSense has helped reduce the amount of energy needed to pump, treat, and heat water by 754 billion kilowatt hours and helped consumers save $135 billion in water and energy bills. These savings also helped prevent 288 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to planting 4.8 billion trees!

“Throughout 2021, our award-winning partners helped people protect this precious resource by promoting WaterSense labeled products and water-efficient behaviors,” said Veronica Blette, Chief, WaterSense Branch. “Saving water is particularly critical in areas impacted by drought, but is also a path to helping consumers stretch dollars by reducing their water and energy bills.”

Rob Densely of Smart Rain stated, “It is a great privilege to be a part of an amazing technology and very honored to be recognized by such a great organization such as the EPA. We love partnering in such an important mission to conserve water and make the world a better place.”
