WaterSense on the Today Show
Published April 2008
On Friday, April 25th, WaterSense was featured on the Today Show
during a segment about "greening your bathroom." During the
segment, host Meredith Vieira inadvertently said that the average
American household wastes 900 billion gallons per year. In fact,
the average American household uses about 100,000 gallons in a year,
and 11,000 gallons of that are unnecessarily wasted each year due
to inefficient toilets and faucets. If every inefficient toilet
in the United States was replaced by a WaterSense labeled model,
it would save 640 billion gallons!
