WaterSense Program
CWLP has partnered with the United States' Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) WaterSense program to encourage customers to adopt water-saving habits and install water-saving devices in their homes. By partnering with the nationally recognized program, CWLP can provide customers with reliable information about high-performing water-efficient products and practices.
When shopping for bathroom faucets, showerheads, toilets, flushing urinals and other water-using devices, look for the WaterSense label. Products that bear this label:
| n | use about 20% less water while performing as well as or better than conventional models. |
| n | will help you save on your utility bill. |
If you use an irrigation professional, you can be sure you're saving as much as possible in that area, as well, by using a WaterSense irrigation partner. Professionals with this distinction have been certified through a USEPA program that highlights water-efficient techniques.

Start Your Water Efficiency Education With A Quiz
Do you know how much water your household uses . . . and for what? The
WaterSense online
quiz
will test your knowledge about how much water consumers typically use for
various tasks and the best ways to save water in your home. Then, our online
Water Quiz pamphlet will help you calculate exactly how much you
use for bathing,
laundry, hand washing, tooth brushing, and other
water-consuming tasks, so you can see how your usage stacks up against the
average consumer.
After you finish the quiz and have calculated your own water use, you can use our other informative online pamphlets, Indoor Water Use and How To Fix a Toilet Leak, to start learning ways to be a wiser water user. To receive the Water Quiz, Indoor Water Use or How To Fix a Toilet Leak pamphlets by mail, call the Energy Services Office at (217) 789-2070 or email nrgxprts@cwlp.com.
