In May and July of 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bills (H.R.6192 and H.R. 7700) that threaten to block or weaken federal water and energy efficiency product standards. The Alliance for Water Efficiency opposes these bills, which are inconsistent with more than 35 years of congressional support for laws that help families afford utility bills by ensuring that appliances, plumbing fixtures, and other products are water and energy efficient.
