(1) Existing law authorizes public entities that supply water, by the adoption of an ordinance or resolution pursuant to specified procedures, to adopt and enforce a water conservation program. Existing law requires certain disclosures to be made upon the transfer of real estate. Existing law requires that all water closets or urinals sold or installed in the state use no more than an average of 1.6 gallons or one gallon per flush, respectively. This bill would establish requirements for residential and commercial real property built and available for use on or before January 1, 1994, for replacing plumbing fixtures that are not water conserving, as defined as noncompliant plumbing fixtures. On and after January 1, 2014, the bill would require, for all building alterations or improvements to single-family residential real property, as defined, that water-conserving plumbing fixtures replace other noncompliant plumbing fixtures as a condition for issuance of a certificate of final completion and occupancy or final permit approval by the local building department. By creating a new duty to inspect for local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2017, that all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in any single-family residential real property shall be replaced by the property owner with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2019, that all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in multifamily residential real property and commercial real property, as defined, be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. The bill would require, on and after January 1, 2014, for specified building alterations or improvements to multifamily residential real property and commercial real property, that water-conserving plumbing fixtures replace other noncompliant plumbing fixtures as a condition for issuance of a certificate of final completion and occupancy or final permit approval by the local building department. By creating a new duty to inspect for local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require, on and after January 1, 2017, that a seller or transferor of single-family residential real property, multifamily residential real property, or commercial real property disclose to a purchaser or transferee, in writing, specified requirements for replacing plumbing fixtures, and whether the real property includes noncompliant plumbing. The bill would require, on and after January 1, 2017, a seller of certain residential real property to make a specified disclosure in this regard. The bill would permit an owner or the owner's agent to enter rental property for the purpose of installing, repairing, testing, and maintaining water-conserving plumbing fixtures, as specified, and would require, on and after January 1, 2019, that the water-conserving plumbing fixtures prescribed by the bill operate at the manufacturer's rated water consumption at the time that a tenant takes possession, as specified. The bill would provide that the application of its requirements may be postponed up to one year, as specified, with respect to a building for which a demolition permit has been issued. The bill would permit a city or county or retail water supplier to enact a local ordinance or policy that promotes compliance with the bill's provisions or that will result in greater water savings than otherwise provided by the bill. The bill would provide that any city, county, or city and county that has adopted an ordinance requiring retrofit of noncompliant plumbing fixtures prior to July 1, 2009, is exempt from its requirements so long as the ordinance remains in effect. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
