SUMMARY: Staff will present information at the
Committee meeting about the District’s current programs and actions that may
be necessary to comply with Senate Bill 407
(Padilla). Briefly, SB 407 requires
buildings built before 1994 to replace inefficient water fixtures with
fixtures that meet current code. The
requirements include: ·
On or before January
1, 2017, all non-compliant plumbing fixtures in any single-family residential
real property shall be replaced by the property owner with “water-conserving
plumbing fixtures.”[1] ·
On or before January
1, 2019, all non-compliant plumbing fixtures in Multi-Family Residential
property and commercial real property must be replaced with “water-conserving
plumbing fixtures.” ·
The bill also
requires water efficient plumbing fixtures prior to receipt of a certificate
of final completion and occupancy related to a building permit. This requirement has been in place in the
MPWMD since the 1980’s. RECOMMENDATION: The Committee should receive the staff presentation at the meeting and provide direction to staff. EXHIBIT None U:\staff\Board_Committees\WaterDemand\2016\20160801\03\Item-3.docx |
