How Drought Conditions Affect Home Builders

Check Out these Plumbing Technologies Available to Reduce the Strain on the Water Supply

As drought conditions in California continue to worsen, the construction industry’s future is uncertain. Many municipalities have suggested suspending new building projects - residential and commercial - until the state’s water crisis is under control. The theory is that the more homes or buildings being built means more people will be accessing the already strained water supply. However, builders are challenging this notion because suspending new builds will be catastrophic to their bottom lines. In response to the municipalities’ calls for a moratorium on new builds, California builders are using advanced plumbing technology to make it easier for homeowners and businesses to conserve water without forgoing convenience. So, the question that plumbers must consider is: What technologies are available to help newer homes use less water than existing properties? Thanks to advances in plumbing technology there are quite a few options to conserve water not only in new structures, but existing ones as well. All it requires is a bit of planning and a few upgrades here and there.
