Making its way around the nation, The Conservation Tour - with its “Responsible Bathroom,” makes a stop in Bend on Monday.
It’s a tour bus featuring environmentally friendly bathroom features that look and act like your standard faucets and toilets, but save gallons of water.
Plumbers from around town walked through the bus, taking a peak at the latest in water efficient products.
“Our faucets, rather than having the 2.2 gallon a minute or 2.5 gallon a minute, we’ve reduced those down to 1.45 gallons a minute. We’ve done the same in our shower heads and we’re just trying to promote water conservation,” says Randall Guile, American Standard Products.
The tour’s goal is to save 2 billion gallons of water by the end of the year.
