A National Campaign to Build Awareness
Never Waste is a new national campaign from AWE that aims to raise awareness about the amount of water we waste in our daily lives and encourage consumers to take action to reduce water waste. AWE is teaming up with its members consisting of water suppliers, communities and industry organizations across the continent that together have the potential to reach more than 30 million water users in North America.
The campaign quantifies the amount of water wasted by comparing it to an everyday object – a water bottle – and encourages consumers to take simple steps to eliminate their water waste. Water supplies in the United States are increasingly under pressure from a growing population, with more than 36 states facing shortages this year. According to the EPA, the amount of water leaked from U.S. homes due to running toilets, dripping faucets, and other household leaks could exceed more than one trillion gallons per year, or enough water to sustain Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami.

Everyone who uses water is encouraged to join this national effort to ensure sustainable water supplies and create a stronger water ethic in North America. By using less water each day, we can make a measurable impact and help protect water for future generations.
