113TH CONGRESS 

2D SESSION S. 2226 

To establish a WaterSense program within the Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 

APRIL 9, 2014 

Mr. UDALL of New Mexico introduced the following bill; which was read twice 

and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works 

A BILL 

To establish a WaterSense program within the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘WaterSense Efficiency, 

5 Conservation, and Adaptation Act of 2014’’. 

6 SEC. 2. WATER EFFICIENCY, CONSERVATION, AND ADAPTA7 TION. 

8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 

9 (1)(A) human-induced climate change is affect10 ing the natural water cycle, decreasing precipitation

•S 2226 IS

1 levels in the West, especially the Southwest, and 

2 making droughts and floods more frequent and more 

3 intense; 

4 (B) declining precipitation levels will severely 

5 impact water supplies in Southwestern States; and 

6 (C) a sharp increase in the number of days with 

7 very heavy precipitation throughout the Northeast 

8 and the Midwest will stress aging water infrastruc9 ture; 

10 (2) changes in the water cycle caused by cli11 mate disruptions will adversely affect water infra12 structure, energy production and use, human health, 

13 transportation, agriculture, and ecosystems, while 

14 also aggravating water disputes across the United 

15 States; 

16 (3)(A) the Colorado River, which supplies water 

17 for more than 30,000,000 people, is experiencing the 

18 worst drought in more than 100 years of record19 keeping; and 

20 (B) the primary reservoirs of the Colorado 

21 River Basin and Lakes Mead and Powell have lost 

22 nearly half of the storage waters of the reservoirs 

23 and Lakes, and clean hydropower generated from 

24 Hoover Dam risks reduction if the extended drought 

25 persists;

•S 2226 IS

1 (4) States and local governments and water 

2 utilities can begin to address the challenges de3 scribed in this subsection by providing incentives for 

4 water efficiency and conservation, while also plan5 ning and investing in infrastructure to adapt to the 

6 impacts of climate change, particularly those im7 pacts already affecting the United States; 

8 (5) residential water demand can be reduced by 

9 25 to 40 percent using existing, cost-effective tech10 nologies that also can reduce the water bills of con11 sumers by hundreds of dollars per year; and 

12 (6) water and energy use are inseparable activi13 ties, and supplying and treating water consumes 

14 around 4 percent of the electricity of the United 

15 States, and electricity makes up 75 percent of the 

16 cost of processing and delivering municipal water. 

17 (b) DEFINITION OF ADMINISTRATOR.—In this Act, 

18 the term ‘‘Administrator’’ means the Administrator of the 

19 Environmental Protection Agency. 

20 (c) WATERSENSE.— 

21 (1) IN GENERAL.—There is established within
