(Prior Code, § 17.68.030) (Ord. 615, passed - -1992; Am. Ord. 796, passed 4-6-2016)

All structures in Fairfax, in all zoning districts, shall have all of their toilets (water closets) whose rated water usage exceeds 1.28 gallons per flush, replaced with water conserving toilets not exceeding 1.28 gallons per flush, or as required by the CPC as amended and adopted by the Town Council, no later than 60 days after the sale or transfer of the property.
