EPA recognizes Toro for eighth consecutive year
in promoting water efficiency and conservation
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today recognized
The Toro Company with a 2022 WaterSense Excellence Award for its
dedication to helping consumers and businesses responsibly use
water. Presented during the WaterSmart Innovations (WSI) Conference
and Exposition in Las Vegas, The Toro Company was recognized for
promoting water efficiency and conservation throughout 2021, along
with 33 other utilities, manufacturers, builders, retailers, and
organizations that partner with WaterSense to promote
water-efficient products, homes and programs.
WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by EPA, is
both a label for water-efficient products, programs and homes, and
a resource for helping consumers learn ways to save water. Since
2006, more than 2,100 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
for eight months. In addition to water savings, 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.”
The Toro Company has long been an EPA WaterSense partner and
this is its eighth consecutive WaterSense Excellence Award. In
2022, Toro continued to produce a weekly radio program and podcast,
called The Water Zone, focused on education and informing people on
best practices and technologies for efficient outdoor water use.
The show currently has over 40,000 listeners per month and over
100,000 followers on iHeart media. Toro also presented a technical
paper, entitled “How Connected Devices Can Help Drive
Sustainability for Irrigation,” in March 2021 and collaborated on a
smart irrigation book, called “Hold Your Water,” in partnership
with artist Wyland and Western Municipal Water District. Throughout
2021, The Toro Company participated in and conducted dozens of
training events in-person and virtually that featured
WaterSense-labeled products and focused on water efficiency.
“Sustainability is engrained in our approach to business. We
value our association with the EPA as a means to broaden outreach
and provide meaningful water-efficient solutions,” said John
McPhee, general manager, Toro Irrigation and Lighting Businesses.
“We are honored to be recognized again this year and look forward
to our continued partnership with the EPA WaterSense program.”
