Forming a Water Efficiency Research Coalition

  07/01/2009
Five national organisations are joining forces in a historic partnership to further research into water efficiency in plumbing. These organisations with expertise in water efficiency and plumbing will develop research programs to assist in the development and use of water efficient plumbing. The research will cover efficient and sustainable products, systems and practices.


The Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by all parties creates a coalition, lead by the Alliance for Water Efficiency, wishing to work on specific plumbing research initiatives. Sample projects that might be undertaken include drainline carry research for high efficiency toilets, non-water-using urinals, sizing of water efficient plumbing systems, and safe applications for re-use of water.

The four other groups signing were as follows: The Plumbing Heating and Cooling Contractors, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, the International Code Council, and the Plumbing Manufacturers Institute.

“The Alliance for Water Efficiency is pleased to be able to participate in this historic unity of the nation’s plumbing organizations on the subject of water efficiency research. By joining forces, we can collectively better use our resources to advance water efficiency research in areas where there is a common interest and need,” said Executive Director Mary Ann Dickinson. “We want to make sure that as we move forward with changes in water efficiency requirements, those changes are based on solid research in the field."


Funds for worthy projects will be sought from government agencies, foundations, and other interested parties. The Memorandum of Understanding does not commit any funds at this time.

Robotic cleaning instruments absorb the oil and move independently and autonomously. They can communicate between them and coordinate their actions. The supplier claims the job will be done efefctively.
