How the Mission Verde ordinances will affect the plumbing industry and what it all means to the end user:
Gravity flush toilets, bathroom aerators, shower heads, and urinals in new buildings must meet or exceed the WaterSence standards set forth by the EPA:
Gravity flush toilets must have a maximum average water use of 1.28 gallons per flush (look for the WaterSense logo).
Faucet aerators for bathrooms must have a maximum water flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (look for the WaterSense logo).
Showerheads shall have a maximum water flow of 2.0 gallons per minute (multiple heads are allowed, but must meet the above criteria).
Urinals in commercial buildings shall have a maximum water use of 0.5 gallons per flush.
