Roto-Rooter Plumbing and
Drain Service announced its
ROTOGreen plumbing program, aimed at helping homeowners
and businesses conserve water and energy by going “Green”. TheROTOGreen program
offers smart retrofits to existing residential and commercial toilets, showers
and sinks wherever possible, as with next-generation low-flow showerheads and
sink aerators to significantly cut water consumption.
In addition, Roto-Rooter
service technicians are installing new green fixtures whenever retrofits aren’t
practical. For example, an older toilet would be converted to a more efficient
dual-flush model, giving the user the option of selecting a light flush for
liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste.
“We believe we can have a
real impact on water use in the U.S. and Canada simply by installing better
replacement parts and fixtures that use less water,” said Roto-Rooter spokesman
Paul Abrams. “We aim to install 10,000 water saving fixtures
for our clients by 2011, which has the potential to save tens of millions of
gallons of water.”
