U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Tours Miami Project to Highlight Alterna’s Water Conservation Solutions
On Thursday, January 5, 2012, the U.S. EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson, met with Alterna President, Nick Gunia, to tour the Brownsville Transit Village project site, a 466 unit affordable housing development in Miami, where Alterna supplied all of the project’s high efficiency plumbing fixtures. Alterna’s high efficiency plumbing fixtures, which included Caroma dual flush toilets and Fluid high efficiency faucets, are estimated to save the project over 5 million gallons of water annually and approximately $50,000 in utility costs each year. Subsequent to the tour, Alterna and the project developer, Carlisle Development Group, hosted a business roundtable, where local green business leaders discussed local environmental issues and challenges, including water conservation, with the EPA Administrator. Also in attendance for the tour and roundtable were EPA Region 4 Administrator Gwen Keyes Fleming and U.S. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson of the 17th District of Florida, where the Brownsville Transit Village Project is located.
After the event with Administrator Jackson, Alterna President Nick Gunia remarked, “As a US EPA WaterSense program partner since 2008, it was a dream come true for our work at Brownsville Transit Village to be recognized by the head of the U.S. EPA.”
The event was also widely covered in local, regional and national press.
