2/17/2012

Horizon Distributors announced it has been selected to join the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense Partner Program, making Horizon only the second green industry supplier to be recognized by the EPA.The WaterSense partnership is truly an honor for us, and it speaks to our commitment to helping our customers conserve water, said Jim Ross, president, Horizon Distributors. Being named an official Distribution Partner in the EPA's WaterSense conservation program is great recognition of our continued efforts to advance irrigation efficiency in the green industry.

WaterSense is a comprehensive, multi-tiered program established to increase awareness about water savings and promote the value of more efficient products and practices.

The EPA estimates that Americans waste about 1.5 billion gallons of water every day, often through inefficient irrigation. The WaterSense program was created to reduce the overall consumption of clean water resources by encouraging high-efficiency products and water-saving habits--both inside and outside of the home.

For the professional irrigation industry, a variety of smart controllers from different manufacturers are in the final WaterSense certification process. Horizon Distributors is committed to supporting WaterSense-labeled controllers and other water conserving products as they become available.
