AB 1975 and Water Sub-metering in California

Water sub-metering and water conservation opportunities have been around for some time. Now proposed AB 1975 currently under committee review intends to make that a reality. Although the intent of AB 1975 is water conservation by installing water sub-meters in multi-family buildings, there are a number of issues by the various stakeholders (e.g., water purveyors, plumbing industry, tenant groups, property owners, etc.) that need to be addressed. For example, please refer to comment letter dated June 20, 2010 by Green Plumbers USA submitted to the author of this bill (see pages 14-15-16 of Newsletter). Once these and other related comments are addressed, the bill's objectives can be realized.
