The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Veolia with a 2024 WaterSense Excellence Award for promoting WaterSense and water efficiency in 2023 in its New York utility operations. Veolia is one of 50 utilities, manufacturers, builders, and other organizations honored with WaterSense Partner of the Year Awards for making it possible for consumers and businesses to save billions of gallons of water each year.
WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by EPA, is both a label for water-efficient products and a resource for helping consumers learn ways to save water. WaterSense labeled products, homes, and programs helped consumers and businesses save 1.2 trillion gallons of water in 2023, along with the energy used to heat that water and money on utility bills.
