The City of Sebastopol’s projected future population growth has led to increased concern over the City’s diminishing sewage treatment capacity share in the Santa Rosa Subregional Sewerage System. At the same time, the City depends solely upon an underground water supply and wishes to conserve that finite resource.

Therefore, the City Council of Sebastopol hereby determines that there are certain water savings devices which can be incorporated into all new construction, and in remodeling of existing kitchens and bathrooms, and that the use of such devices will help conserve water and preserve the City’s sewerage treatment capacity.
