A new ordinance taking effect in the City of Albuquerque will require sellers to install low-flow toilets before completing the sale. The ordinance went into effect on January 6, 2010 and applies to any structure built before 1994 and served by the Bernalillo County Water Authority under the jurisdiction of the city of Albuquerque.

This will obviously cause some hardship for sales — but I am personally delighted that the city is continuing its focus on water conservation.
