EPA program recognizes water management
leader for fifth consecutive year
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has again
recognized The Toro Company with a 2020 WaterSense Excellence Award
for promoting WaterSense® and water efficiency in 2019. WaterSense
recently recognized a total of 28 utilities, manufacturers,
builders, and other organizations that are making it possible for
consumers and businesses to save billions of gallons of water each
year as part of its Partner of the Year Awards.
WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the
EPA, is both a label for water-efficient products and a resource
for helping consumers learn ways to save water. WaterSense labeled
products, homes, and programs helped consumers and businesses save
871 billion gallons of water in 2019.
“Since the program started in 2006, our WaterSense partners have
made it possible for consumers and businesses to save more than 4.4
trillion gallons of water and $87 billion on utility bills,” said
Veronica Blette, WaterSense Program Manager. “Our award winners in
particular have gone above and beyond to make water, energy, and
money savings easy for Americans.”
WaterSense Award winners demonstrate their commitment to saving
this precious resource by producing, building, and promoting
labeled products and homes that are independently certified to use
less water. In addition, WaterSense offers certification programs
for water-smart irrigation professionals.
WaterSense honored The Toro Company as Manufacturer Partner of
the Year in 2016 and an Excellence Award winner in 2017, 2018 and
2019. Toro has been selected as a 2020 Excellence Award winner for
showcasing its WaterSense-labeled products at 35 home expos and
trade shows, reaching several thousand homeowners and industry
professionals. Toro conducted several training sessions in a
variety of locations to educate attendees on water management
trends, share best practices, demonstrate WaterSense labeled
irrigation products, and provide hands-on product experience. Toro
once again sponsored the Irrigation Association’s E3 Program that
provides scholarships to professional irrigation students; the
program awarded students a record number of scholarships last year.
The Toro Company also continued its sponsorship and production of
the weekly Water Zone radio program focused on outdoor water
efficiency best practices and products. Since the show has been
available on iHeart Radio, it now has up to 19,000 listeners per
month.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with the EPA’s
WaterSense program and are inspired by the activities and
contributions of all of this year’s winners,” says John McPhee,
general manager, Toro Irrigation and Lighting Businesses. “The
responsible use of water drives the work that we do to innovate and
educate our customers and business partners worldwide. We are
pleased to have these efforts recognized again this year.”
