Law Requiring Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures Goes into Effect

Law Requiring Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures Goes into Effect -- updated 3/25/14

There are many California Legislative Laws that effect homeowners.  CAR ~ California Association of Realtors have launch monthly information "Homeowners Legislative Fact."  I plan to update the community with the articles provided by CAR.

A law calling for the replacement of older plumbing fixtures with water-conserving ones went into effect on this year. The law says that, as of January 1, 2014, when improving a property new water-conserving toilets, showerheads, faucets and urinals must be installed before the local building department will issue a certificate of final completion and occupancy. The plumbing fixtures that will need to be replaced are: any toilet manufactured to use more than 1.6 gallons per flush; any showerhead manufactured to have a flow capacity of more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute; any interior faucet that emits more than 2.2 gallons of water per minute and any urinal manufactured to use more than one gallon of water per flush. Homeowners with questions about their individual fixtures are urged to contact the manufacturers.
