Homeownership Drives the U.S. Economy
• The nation’s housing and homeownership policies over the last century
have contributed to the growth of the middle class and the United States
economy
• 15% of the U.S. economy relies on housing and nothing packs a bigger
local economic impact than home building.
• Constructing 100 new homes creates more than 300 full-time jobs,
$23.1 million in wage and business income
and $8.9 million in federal, state and local tax revenue.
• A healthy housing industry means more jobs and a stronger economy.
Home building increases the property tax base that supports local schools
and communities

PSF 2010 –David Hagopian, USA
• Predictions for the Housing sector 2012 - demand is expected to be 1.9 to 2 million housing units.
• Also affecting the plumbing and
construction sector are; - the new lead laws, - water efficiency targets. • PMI supports national legislation to
harmonise requirements for lead in plumbing products
![Page 22: Stuart Henry Principle Aqua Global Consultants LLC Indiana, USA](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56812bce550346895d90269f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The USA national lead law takes effect January 2014
• The bill was drafted and supported by PMI to harmonize California standards throughout the USA
• PMI was successful in convincing Louisiana, Vermont and Maryland to adopt the 0.25% level instead of their own different levels as proposed.
• Some other entities (water utilities and non-PMI members) have been caught off-guard.
• PMI will participate in a panel discussion at the June AWWA conference to outline steps taken by manufacturers to comply by the prescribed deadline
• PMI would like to see improvements to infrastructure to replace lead service lines to reduce lead in water
Lead

• PMI supports water efficiency—getting the job done with less water, NOT merely cutting back the amount of water used (conservation)
• PMI supports consumer choice and opposes mandates
• PMI supports educating the consumer to encourage positive behavior change.
• Water efficiency is a shared responsibility—not just that of manufacturers.
• In areas moving to lower flow rates, PMI supports harmonizing with high-efficiency Water Sense approved products… reducing flow by 20%
Water Efficiency
