Water is one of our most precious resources, yet we waste billions of gallons every year—often without even realizing it. But what if the biggest solution wasn’t flashy new technology, but something as simple as the toilet, showerhead, or faucet in your home? In this episode of The Authority Podcast: Plumbing Mechanical, host Christophe Lohr welcomes back Kerry Stackpole, CEO & Executive Director of Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), for a powerful conversation about how everyday plumbing fixtures are already making a massive impact in the fight for water conservation. Thanks to the U.S. EPA’s WaterSense program, these unsung heroes have saved an astonishing 8.7 trillion gallons of water—enough to sustain millions of families. But there’s still so much more to do.
