Ferguson is recognized as a WaterSense Partner of the Year
The Environmental Protection Agency recently honored Ferguson as the first Retail and Distributor WaterSense Partner of the Year. Ferguson earned this special distinction from the EPA for promoting water-efficiency awareness and taking actions in the last year.
Ferguson received the award, in part for their efforts to highlight the new PROFLO high efficiency toilets and other watersaving devices. Both Ferguson's customers and the nation's water resources benefit from this water-efficiency know-how.
"The demand for Green is rising dramatically and to continue meeting the needs of our customers, we need to bring additional focus to Green product education," said Jim Feltman, Chief Marketing Officer for Wolseley's North America Division.
WaterSense, a partnership program launched in 2006 by the EPA, seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by offering people a simple way to use less water.

Ferguson teams with Habitat for Humanity to help build 20 homes
Ferguson teamed with Habitat for Humanity to build 20 homes for those impacted by the 2008 floods in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The construction was part of the annual Habitat for Humanity AmeriCorps Build-a-Thon.
Our company provided toilets, as well as lighting fixtures for the family rooms, kitchens and bathrooms of the homes. Ferguson is a national partner with Habitat for Humanity and provides two PROFLO toilets for Habitat houses built throughout the country.
"Ferguson is honored to help our friends and neighbors rebuild our community," said Jess Gonzalez, general manager for Ferguson. "Everyone in this community was impacted by the devastation of the floods last year. By working together and each doing a little, we can help provide new homes and a fresh start for our hard-working citizens."
The 2009 Build-a-Thon celebrates 14 years of AmeriCorps members helping Habitat for Humanity affiliates and partner organizations build affordable houses and eliminate substandard housing.
