    Plumbing is important for several reasons: it harnesses water, a precious resource, for health and hygiene; plumbing innovations have dramatically reduced water usage through more efficient toilets, showerheads, and faucets; and water-efficient plumbing products certified by the EPA save over 20% more water while performing as well or better than standard models. If all U.S. households converted to WaterSense products, the nation could save over 3 trillion gallons of water and $17 billion annually. Modern plumbing also contributes to energy savings by reducing the amount of water that needs to be heated and transported. The plumbing industry provides jobs for millions of people worldwide.

    Top 10 reasons why plumbing is so important

    Happy World Plumbing Day 2015!

    Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), whose members produce about 90% of the


    nation’s plumbing products, came up with a list of the Top 10 reasons Why Plumbing Matters
    for the celebration of World Plumbing Day. Why does plumbing matter to you? Comment
    at www.safeplumbing.org/whyplumbingmatters.

     1.   Plumbing harnesses a precious resource —water —to use safely for health, hygiene and
    well-being. Plumbing makes possible the miracle of clean, convenient water —something
    often take for granted.

     2.   Plumbing manufacturing innovations to gain water efficiency have dramatically reduced
    the amount of water used through toilets, showerheads, faucets and other plumbing products.
    For example, WaterSense plumbing products meeting Environmental Protection Agency
    criteria have saved consumers 757 billion gallons of water and $14.2 billion in water and
    energy bills since 2006, according to the EPA.

     3.   To assure customer satisfaction, WaterSense products are certified to perform as well or
    better than standard models —all while saving at least 20 percent more water.

     4.   The increased use of water-efficient plumbing is an important, yet often overlooked, part
    of the water sustainability solution. The EPA estimates that the United States could save 3
    trillion gallons of water and over $17 billion dollars annually if every U.S. household
    converted to WaterSense products. High-efficiency plumbing in commercial facilities can
    help save even more.

     5.    Modern plumbing products help regions affected by droughts and water shortages to use
    water more efficiently. For example, Denver reduced water use to a 40-year low in December
    2014, according to the Denver Post. Contributing to the decrease was replacing 3,200 3.5
    gallons per flush (gpf) toilets in the Denver Public Schools with 1.25 gpf toilets. Denver has
    plans to replace 6,800 more by 2018.

     6.   Water efficiency contributes greatly to energy savings. Less water used means less water
    heated and less water transported. Installing WaterSense-labeled faucet aerators in
    bathrooms, for example, help save water and energy.

     7.    Plumbing brings comfort and beauty into homes and lives. Kitchens and bathrooms not
    only serve functional purposes; they provide the refuge of comforting meals, soothing baths
    and restorative relaxation.

     8.    The plumbing industry is a strong economic engine, providing jobs and livelihoods to
    millions of people around the world.
     9.    The ability of plumbing and sanitation systems to deliver clean water and remove waste
    has protected populations from communicable disease throughout history. There is
    acknowledgement from many within the public health community that clean, drinkable water
    has likely protected more lives and extended life expectancy more than any medical
    advancement. Plumbing advancements continue to protect lives in developing nations.

     10.   A future of water sustainability is an achievable prospect, as plumbing manufacturers


    work with allies in safe plumbing and water efficiency to find solutions.
