CALIFORNIA BILL WOULD MANDATE HIGH-EFFICIENCY TOILETS
As reported by Environmental Building News, a water conservation hill in the California Legislature would set the maximum water consumption for toilets at 1.3 gallons per flush (gpf; 4-9 1pf). The legislation, Assembly Bill 2496, was authored by John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) and passed the State Assembly.
The bill includes the following provisions: As of January 1, 2008, tank-type, single-flush toilets (gravity-flush and pressure-assist) installed in new California buildings would be limited to 1.3 gpf (4.9 lpf); dual-flush toilets would be limited to 1.6 gpf (6.0 lpf) for solids and 1.1 gpf (4.2 lpf) for liquids. The same restrictions would take effect one year later for flushometer-type toilets. Currently, 86 toilet models from 16 manufacturers comply with the proposed requirements.
