вЂњWe wanted to appeal these rules, and we are especially concerned about the impact of the showerhead rule,вЂќ said Mary Ann Dickinson, president and CEO of the Alliance for Water Efficiency. The suit challenges two new DOE rules: one changes the definition of a showerhead and the other creates a new class of clothes washers and dryers with no water- or energy-saving requirements.

ITASCA, IL - The American Supply Association, the national trade association representing more than 300 wholesale-distributors of plumbing, heating, cooling, pipe and industrial pipe, valves and fittings products, their suppliers and independent manufacturers representatives of those products, recently joined the Alliance for Water Efficiency in its appeal to the United States Department of Energy related to allowable flow-rate changes for multi-head showers, and the subsequent negative affects it will have on business operations for ASA members, as well as overall negative water-efficiency consequences that will result.ДЄWE, dedicated to the efficient and sustainable use of water that advocates for water-efficient products and programs, and helps encourage and facilitate water conservation, filed two appeals to protect federal efficiency standards for showerheads, clothes washers and dryers.
