It’s getting hot out here ♨️ …so turn off all your hoses With 45 of 50 states are enduring drought, w/ only AK, ND, MI, CT, and RI drought-free, states implement strict water use rules ahead of summer. Communities need better tools to plan for long-term water demand. That’s where IAPMO’s Water Demand Calculator comes in. Learn more about it here: iapmo.org/we-stand/water…

ARCSA was proud to have Christina Kaeini and Chris Maxwell‑Gaines present at the South Central Climate Resilience Forum, spotlighting rainwater and stormwater harvesting as climate adaptation tools. Great to connect with leaders from government, academia, and the private sector to advance these solutions in local planning. 🌧️💧 #rainwater

On Artemis II, a major challenge wasn’t navigation or propulsion—it was the toilet. Issues with Orion’s waste system (a pump and ice blocking a vent) forced temporary restrictions. @NASA solved it by using sunlight to melt the blockage ☀️ #PlumbingMatters theprint.in/science/on-nas…

.@GregAbbott_TX launched the Texas Jobs Council—bringing business & labor together to strengthen workforce training and fill high demand jobs like plumbers and pipefitters. This effort helps ensure that Texas has the skilled trades needed to drive growth and keep the economy strong. gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove…

Can we cut indoor water use by 56% without asking for a single "sacrifice"? 🚿💧The @50LHome results are in: high-performance fixtures = 21 gal/person/day + improved quality of life. At @IAPMO, we know performance-driven design beats mandates. 🛠️✅ Read: wbcsd.org/news/los-angel… #WaterPolicy #WaterDemandCalculator #Innovation #Sustainability

NJ’s 3rd Annual #Plumbing Industry Day! Reps from top orgs met at the legislature to highlight #plumbing & safe #sanitation’s vital role in protecting the Garden State’s health. Over 100 lawmakers/staff learned about the 50-year National Standard Plumbing Code.

Great turnout at the MA State House for the 4th Annual Plumbing Industry Day on #WorldPlumbingDay! Over 200 industry representatives met with legislators to highlight the essential role of safe #plumbing and #sanitation. #WPC @iapmo @phccnatl @PlumbingGreater @maphcc @local4Boston @ualocal12boston @UA_Local_51 @ualocal104

💧 Congress is focusing on what it takes to deliver safe, reliable, affordable drinking water — from infrastructure to workforce. Strong codes, certified products, and trained professionals help turn policy into progress at the tap. Thanks @HouseCommerce for the discussion. energycommerce.house.gov/posts/environm… #SafeDrinkingWater #WaterInfrastructure #IAPMO

. @ColoradoMesaU is proving what geothermal can do. Its campus wide heating and cooling network has already saved over $15 million in energy costs and cut water use, all while supporting campus growth. A powerful model for efficient infrastructure and for radiant and geothermal technologies being championed by the Radiant Professionals Alliance. #GeothermalEnergy #ResilientInfrastructure  insideclimatenews.org/news/07022026/…

Time for some #freshair…the #AHRconference in Las Vegas 🎰. It brought together members of #RPA to discuss the latest in tech, installation, and legislation. RPA manufacturers & working professionals met to advance vital radiant, hydronic heating and cooling technologies.

In California, when it rains, it pours. 🌧️ Rainwater catchment (ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 63) & stormwater harvesting (ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 78) help communities have water when they need it most. Whether it's rain or shine, @ARCSA3 leads the way in water resilience. #WaterResilience #Stormwater #Drought usatoday.com/story/news/cal… via @usatoday

New study from @MeadowsC4Water shows rainwater harvesting isn’t just a backup—it’s an important water security solution. Reliable anywhere in Texas, even during record droughts, it strengthens household resilience and reduces strain on traditional supplies. The report introduces a tool to quantify system reliability statewide. 🌧️💧 #WaterSecurity #RainwaterHarvesting meadowscenter.txst.edu/research/water…

A preliminary study from the .@SocRiskAnalysis finds lower Legionnaires’ disease rates when water utilities use monochloramine as disinfectant rather than chlorine. Legionella preventative protocol remains the optimum standard rather than treatment .@EPA newswise.com/articles/natio…

Buyers are prioritizing water-saving homes: listings with @EPA WaterSense® fixtures are up nearly 290%. At @IAPMO , we’re proud to support this consumer choice and set the standard through the Uniform Codes and industry-leading standards such as WE•Stand -- because efficient plumbing conserves water and protects public health. 💧#WaterEfficiency #Sustainability #GreenBuilding

. @USWaterAlliance and @Stantec have released a new report, "Tapping Potential: The Economic Benefits of Investing in Water Infrastructure," showing how closing the U.S. water investment gap could generate $7.3T in economic output and support 1.4M+ jobs. 💧#ValueOfWater #WaterInfrastructure  static1.squarespace.com/static/67dd711…

The .@LADWP announced it will 2x the transformation of wastewater into drinking water. 45 million gal cleaned per day will provide enough water for 500k people and stop taking water from streams that feed Mono Lake #recycledwater latimes.com/environment/st…

Stadiums use versatile energy for real benefits. Lincoln Financial Field’s +4k 🌞panels provide ~40% of its energy & rainwater catchment 🌧️ supply its gardens with water🌺...that's a real two-point conversion 🏈 apnews.com/article/nfl-fo…

The future of Texas depends on reliable water. Prop 4 would invest $1B/year for 20 years into water supply and infrastructure. No new taxes, just smarter use of existing funds. Clean, reliable water for every community = a stronger Texas. Early voting: Oct. 20–31 and election day is Nov. 4. #Texaswater twdb.texas.gov/home/doc/Propo…

.@GregAbbott_TX signed SB 14, requiring political subdivisions to give impact fee credits to builders who utilize water conservation and reuse projects. Starting January 2026, developers with advanced water saving systems will see reduced fees. #txlege #WaterConservation
