Working Together to Get “Green” Legislation Right
As the popularity of promoting “green” initiatives increases, many local municipalities, state regulators and legislators are proposing changes that will impact our industry. As in the past, much of the focus is on reducing water usage by mandating flow rates of plumbing products such as toilets, faucets and showerheads. When legislators, conservation groups, standards boards, industry associations and manufacturers work together, it can result in solutions that are water efficient and meet consumer expectations. When there is limited dialogue between stakeholders, it can create a lot of consumer frustration and inefficiencies. PMI is a strong advocate for improved water efficiency in plumbing products. We support active participation between all stakeholders to insure the most effective policies. Working together will make the most effective change.
