Since 1994, a federal law has been in effect that mandates the use of water-efficient
plumbing fixtures throughout the nation. This law requires that all new toilets, showerheads,
and faucets which are sold must meet requirements that result in less water use than
the previous higher consumption plumbing fixtures. These water efficient fixtures
should result in reduced indoor water demand in new construction, as well as by replacement
fixtures installed in remodeling projects.
The city is involved in evaluating the most beneficial type of program to pursue with
regard to low-flow toilets. Some money has been set aside for a toilet rebate or exchange
program, but further research is being conducted to determine optimal program guidelines
and potentially run a pilot program. Prior to the end of calendar year 2009, the city's
approach to encouraging the use of low-flow toilets will be decided and the framework
and advertising campaign developed.
