Water Conservation

Water Conservation Initiative
Every Drop Counts

Water is vital to the survival of everything on the planet and is limited in supply. The Earth might seem like it has abundant water, but in fact, only 1 percent is available for human use. While the population and the demand on freshwater resources are increasing, supply remains constant.

A proactive water conservation program can help lessen the impact of any potential droughts and other water shortage situations that could occur this summer. PHCC's Water Conservation Initiative challenges consumers to make at least one change in the way they use water, e.g. fix leaking fixtures or pipes, modify a wasteful behavior or install water-efficient products.

To assist in the success of the program, participating members are offering free water audits to homeowners in their local communities.

Where We Stand
PHCC has adopted position papers supporting water conservation and waterless urinals (with some stipulations). PHCC has decided not to endorse 1.3 gpf toilets until proven technology is developed that will support the performance of lower gpf toilets within existing sewer infrastructures.
