Findings and Recommendations 1 findings
F8
Contra Costa County and its cities could adopt water saving and recycling ordinances for large commercial buildings, similar to those adopted in other large urban locations such as San Francisco. Response: The City of Walnut Creek has adopted the California Green Building Standards Code, which includes water efficiency standards for plumbing fixtures, and a Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance which limits water usage for new and replacement landscaping. Utility-provided recycled water is not delivered to Walnut Creek, and is therefore not available for use in office buildings.
