Water Quality Protection

The Built Green® program offers a variety of both common-sense and innovative site protection, water quality protection, dust reduction, and low impact development techniques to allow you to be a wildlife and fish friendly builder.

Water is becoming a precious resource. Installing water efficient appliances such as low-flow fixtures or dual-flush toilets, Energy Star washing machines and dishwashers along with water aerators on the faucets and showers can significantly reduce the amount of water a household consumes. Planting a water-wise landscape also reduces the water demand and requires less maintenance while still adding beauty to your home.
