*Special Notice: In mid-June 2023, new water conservation rules went into effect that apply to all NEW water fixtures, like faucets, toilets and landscape irrigation systems. Existing water fixtures are not affected. Water fixtures for residential homes are also subject to different standards than water fixtures for commercial businesses. A summary of the new regulations can be found using this link.
