DOE ordered Zurn Industries, LLC, to pay a $8,000 civil penalty after finding Zurn had failed to certify that certain faucets comply with the applicable water conservation standards. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Zurn.
DOE alleged in a May 4, 2016 Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that Zurn Industries, LLC had failed to certify certain faucets as compliant with the applicable water conservation standards. DOE regulations require a manufacturer (which includes importers) to submit reports certifying that its products have been tested and meet the applicable water conservation standards. The civil penalty notice advised the company of the potential penalties and DOE's administrative process, including the company's right to a hearing.
