High Performance Toilets and Recycled Toilet Seats for Remodeling Value!
Save the Water Race, Tennessee
February 2008 – Reacting to the severe drought conditions plaguing the Southeast, Mayor Tony Reames of Orme, Tenn., launched a community awareness campaign with an immediate message – save water now before it runs out. The campaign titled, Save the Water Race, is a vast effort to inform homeowners about the significance of preserving water by repairing water leaks in toilets and faucets, and by installing water control fixtures throughout the home.
Gerber Plumbing Fixtures was one of seven major plumbing manufacturers who participated. The company demonstrated its ongoing corporate social responsibility by donating its high performance and water conserving Viper™ toilets to town residents.
“We are honored to aid in this major effort to help these citizens during this severe water crisis,” comments Ron Mudge, marketing and new categories manager of Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC.
"This project also demonstrates how high performance products like the Viper, conserve water by flushing the first time-every time”
The Gerber Viper high-performance toilets were installed with Bemis toilet seats, which are made of recycled materials. Delta Faucet Company also provided showerheads that use 36 percent less water than a normal showerhead.
