Dear WaterSense Partner,

Join your fellow WaterSense partners from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 (i.e., Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming) for a one-day summit on all things WaterSense!

Network and learn how other WaterSense partners in Region 8 have incorporated WaterSense and water efficiency into their efforts, including an update on Colorado Senate Bill 103 that requires the phase-out of non-WaterSense labeled products by September 2016.

Get the latest updates on the WaterSense program, including new homes, the revised professional certifying organization specification, H2Otel Challenge and commercial buildings, and upcoming marketing plans (e.g., Shower Better Month, Fix a Leak Week 2015).

We hope to see you in person, but those unable to travel to Denver are invited to participate via webinar. Please spread the word to colleagues within your organization and other WaterSense partners!

·         When: September 8, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

·         Where: EPA Region 8 Conference Center, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO, 80202

Reserve your spot today! Please send questions to Alicia Marrs at marrs.alicia@epa.gov.

Sincerely,
The WaterSense Team
