NHDES Encourages Residents to Shower Better
Celebrate Shower Better Month – October 2016
Concord, NH - This October, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) is celebrating
Shower Better Month, as proclaimed by Governor Hassan, by encouraging residents to save water, energy,
and money through showering better. By showering for one minute less, families can save more than 500
gallons of water per year. Better yet, by replacing a showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model, families
can save 2,900 gallons of water per year, the amount of energy to power a home for 13 days, and up to $70 on
utility
bills.
With all of New Hampshire experiencing abnormally dry to extreme drought conditions, New Hampshire
residents are looking for ways to conserve water. “Many people don’t realize that the water fixtures in their
homes are wasting water as well as the energy it takes to pump and heat water. The WaterSense label makes
it easy to choose a more water efficient product that is guaranteed to perform,” said Stacey Herbold, NHDES
Water Conservation Program.
WaterSense labeled products have been certified to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water
efficiency and performance criteria. Prior to 1994, manufactured showerheads flowed at 3.5 to 5 gallons per
minute. New standards require showerheads to flow at no more than 2.5 gallons per minute. The WaterSense
Program has gone a step further by successfully challenging manufacturers to design high-performing
products that use twenty percent less water than standard models. If you see the WaterSense label on
showerhead packaging or with the online product information, you are guaranteed that the showerhead has
been tested to meet strict criteria relative to water efficiency, spray power, and water coverage. WaterSense
labeled products can be found at most home improvement stores and on WaterSense partner websites.
For more information about the WaterSense label, how to determine the amount of water your current water
fixtures use, and other water efficiency tips, visit the We’re for Water website at www.nhisforwater.org

the feelings, as now in October."
