through voluntary labeling of, or other forms of communications about, 
products, buildings and landscapes, and services that meet the highest 
water efficiency and performance standards.
    (b) Duties.--The Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
Agency shall--
            (1) promote WaterSense labeled products, buildings and 
        landscapes, and services in the market place as the preferred

                designated product is not cost-effective over the life 
                of the product, taking current and future energy, 
                water, and wastewater cost savings into account; or
                    (B) no WaterSense product or service or FEMP

        the maximum extent practicable, additional measures for 
        reducing agency water consumption, including water reuse, 
        reclamation, and recycling technologies, leak detection and 
        repair, and use of waterless products that perform similar 
        functions to existing water-consuming products.
    (c) Listing of Water Efficient Products in Federal Catalogs.--
WaterSense products and services and FEMP designated products shall be 
clearly identified and prominently displayed in any inventory or 
listing of products by the General Services Administration or the 
Defense Logistics Agency. The General Services Administration and the 
Defense Logistics Agency shall supply only WaterSense products or FEMP 
designated products for all product categories covered by the 
WaterSense program or the Federal Energy Management Program, except in 
cases where the agency ordering a product specifies in writing that no 
WaterSense product or FEMP designated product is available to meet the 
buyer's functional requirements, or that no WaterSense product or FEMP 
designated product is cost-effective for the intended application over 
the life of the product, taking energy, water, and wastewater cost 
savings into account.

SEC. 5. EARLY ADOPTER WATER EFFICIENT PRODUCTS INCENTIVE PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--Part III of subchapter B of chapter 1 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting before section 
140 the following new section:

``SEC. 139F. EARLY ADOPTER WATER EFFICIENT PRODUCTS INCENTIVE PROGRAMS.

    ``(a) In General.--In the case of an individual, gross income does 
not include any amount received under an incentive program under 
section 4 of the Water Advanced Technologies for Efficient Resource Use 
Act of 2015.
    ``(b) Denial of Double Benefit.--Notwithstanding any other 
provision of this subtitle, no deduction or credit shall be allowed 
for, or by reason of, any expenditure to the extent of the amount 
excluded under subsection (a) for any amount which was provided with 
respect to such expenditure. The adjusted basis of any property shall 
be reduced by the amount excluded under subsection (a) which was 
provided with respect to such property.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--The table of sections for part III of 
subchapter B of chapter 1 of such Code is amended by inserting before 
the item relating to section 140 the following new item:

``Sec. 139F. Early adopter water efficient products incentive 
                            programs.''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this Act shall apply to 
taxable years beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act.
[EX A]:
Water Advanced Technologies for Efficient Resource Use Act of 2015 This bill codifies the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense program, which identifies, labels, and promotes water efficient products, buildings, landscapes, and services. This bill also establishes a program to provide financial incentives for consumers to purchase and install residential water efficient products and services labeled under the WaterSense program. In order to meet procurement requirements for a water consuming product or service, federal agencies must purchase a WaterSense product or service, or a Federal Energy Management Program designated product. Agencies do not have to procure those products or services if they are not cost-effective, or not reasonably available. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from the gross income of individual taxpayers any amount received under an incentive program for the purchase and installation of residential water efficient products and services.
