A program that certifies excellence in water conservation, saves money and protects the environment.
Florida Water StarSM is a voluntary certification program for builders and developers, which is designed to increase water efficiency in landscapes, irrigation systems and indoors. The Southwest Florida Water Management District is encouraging good water stewardship to the building industry by offering this recognition program that focuses on water efficiency and water quality protection. Florida Water StarSM is tailored to the needs of Florida’s water resources and is easily integrated into other green certification programs such as Energy Star®, the Florida Green Building Coalition’s green standards and the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program.
Florida Water StarSM is a service mark of the St. Johns River Water Management District. The Florida Water StarSM program for residential retrofits and commercial projects are undergoing pilot testing and the Community Florida Water StarSM program will be introduced next year.
