Over its four years, the Trump Administration often publicly questioned the value and efficacy of federal water efficiency standards for toilets, showerheads, faucets, clothes washers, and dishwashers. The US water efficiency community was understandably concerned about what might potentially happen. The Department of Energy (DOE) did issue final rules in 2020 which made controversial changes to showerheads, clothes washers, and dishwashers. Product efficiency standards have been our proudest water and energy efficiency achievement in the US. This presentation will discuss the events that transpired over the last year regarding water efficiency standards and what is on the horizon for change. Speakers will be Mary Ann Dickinson, Past President and CEO of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, and Tia Lebherz, Executive Director-External Affairs of the California Water Efficiency Partnership.
