The State hires professional contractors and plumbers to provide and install new water-efficient toilets, sink aerators, and showerheads, in homes and community buildings. They will also inspect known leaks and repair them if possible. All fixtures and installation services are paid for by the State and are provided at no cost to owners. Read more about the types of fixtures here.
Repairing leaks and using water-efficient fixtures helps you save water. Depending on how your water supplies charges you for services, this can lead to lower water bills. You’re also helping to preserve a precious water supply for yourself and your community for future use.
You can get free fixtures with free installation and free leak repair services.
Owner permission is required for participation. Talk to the building owner to see if they are interested in participating in the Program.
The costs of new fixtures and installation, as well as removal and disposal of old fixtures, are paid for by the State. You will not pay anything. The Budget Act of 2021, as amended by Assembly Bill 180 (Ting, 2021), provides funding to the State of California’s Department of Water Resources to administer the Program. See Section 25, Item 3860-101-3398 Conservation for Small Water Suppliers.
Toilets are elongated, white, ADA-compliant, and 17 inches high with a maximum of 1.28 gallons per flush. Showerheads are polished chrome, multi-spray pattern, 5-inch diameter head, with a 1/2-inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) fixed mount. Corded showerheads are also available if that is the type you currently have. Read more about the types of fixtures here.
Owners in other communities who received new toilets and showerheads similar to those you will receive say they work well, even though they use less water. One resident even said “I thought the new ones would exhibit a lot less water pressure, etc. I didn't notice any change which I liked.”
A technician will ask you about leaks at your home and take a look to see if the leaks can be fixed. The most common leaks can be addressed such as leaking faucets, spigots, and sprinkler heads. If a repair is possible, the technician will explain the repair to be done and obtain owner approval before doing it. If time does not allow the leak to be repaired right then, the contractor will work with you to schedule a follow-up time to make the repairs.
