. @Raleigh_Water officials say new water restrictions are working, with residents cutting usage by ~35M gallons as drought worsens. Some areas are ~15 inches below normal rainfall, and Falls Lake is down 3 feet 📉. Officials urge continued conservation⚠️—especially as farmers head into planting season. #raleigh #drought #waterconservation https://t.co/zVgdBsRV2s

@IAPMO Senior Director of Government Relations Jim Scarborough participated on a policy panel on April 28 for the The Plumbing Foundation City of New York, Inc. entitled "Safer Water Safer City: Protecting the Future of New York City." Participants in the Policy Panel and the following Technology Panel discussed best practices for #LegionellaPrevention in the city’s buildings and water systems. #Plumbing #PublicHealth #WaterQuality

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.

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

.@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. https://t.co/7X24Q3Qxp6

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. 🛠️✅

. @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  https://t.co/N9MgwojGkD

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

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. 🌧️💧

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
