The American Supply Association (ASA) recently joined the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) 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.

AWE, 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. The appeals were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
