About the Awards Program
Launched in 2008, the WaterSense Partners of the Year awards program recognizes WaterSense Partners who:

• Help advance the overall mission of WaterSense
• Increase awareness of the WaterSense brand in a measurable way
• Demonstrate overall excellence in the water-efficiency arena

Partners of the Year contribute to the program’s success by enhancing the market for water-efficient products, practices, and services. Manufacturer Partners design and produce innovative WaterSense labeled products that reduce water use by at least 20 percent; retailers and distributors help bring these products to consumers; promotional Partners educate the public at large and even provide consumers with incentives; and landscape irrigation professionals design, maintain, and audit outdoor irrigation systems. Dedicated Partners in each sector are critical to the program’s success and the WaterSense Partner of the Year awards program acknowledges the ‘best of the best.’
