Plumbing Retrofit & Water Conservation
Santa Cruz County
In July 2013 the County updated its water conservation ordinance to better preserve the county’s water resources by reducing consumption. This ordinance applies to properties located in the unincorporated Santa Cruz County area (outside the City limits of Capitola, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, and Watsonville) that are not served by the City of Santa Cruz, City of Watsonville, or other public water suppliers who administer similar water conservation programs. All properties at the time of sale must retrofit water fixtures that do not meet high efficiency standards.
