FROM: Contra
Nancy Fanden �S}a
DATE: Introduced July 19, 1988 for consideration County
July 26, 1988 Y
SUBJECT:
Water Conservation in the Water Closet
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Supervisors request
the Building Inspection and Community Development
Departments review and report to the Board as to the
possibility of requiring water saving toilets in new
construction.
BACKGROUND: Water conservation through the use of
effielent toilets is another method of reducing total water
need. Toilets use 30 to 40 percent of indoor water use.
Many recently designed toilets are able to operate
satisfactorily with less than half to a third the water used
by older models. Water treatment and storage costs are also
elevating the price of water making these efficient toilets a
cost saver to the water bill payer.
The State of Massachusetts along with a number of counties,
including some in Southern California have or will require
that all new toilet installations be of the low flow
variety.
