NEW YORK, N.Y., March 17, 2014 – There may be 31
days in March, but for the plumbing community, one week stands out:
Fix a Leak Week, March 16th- 22nd. WaterSense, a partnership
program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and creator of
Fix a Leak Week, reports that household leaks can waste more than 1
trillion gallons of water annually nationwide. The holiday is meant
to not only increase awareness of water conservation efforts and
expand knowledge of best practices, but to emphasize the work the
plumbing industry provides every day to meet these needs.
Cheryl Dixon, head of Brand Trade and Marketing
for
GROHE America, also knows the important role
the plumbing industry plays in day-to-day living in the 21st
century. “When it comes to ensuring our drinking water is safe and
conserving as much water as possible, the work that plumbing
professionals put in is so essential,” Dixon said. “We know
plumbers work hard to keep us safe, so we’ve made sure our products
are doing their job, too,” she continued. “Sustainability and water
safety are two of our core values and a top priority in the
creation of every GROHE product from the design to development
stages.”
Below, Dixon notes three products that are compliant with CALGreen,
California's Green Building Standards, a landmark initiative
mandating sustainability and conservation measures in new
construction projects, requiring all new buildings to reduce indoor
water usage by 20 percent. To view the full CALGreen range and to
