Needles Municipal Code § 9.1 General policy

The responsible resource development basis extension is structured to encourage total

resource management and conservation equipment, applications and appliances in residential real estate developments being served by the City. The qualifications for the responsible resource development basis are periodically modified to ensure that the criteria being used represent the current energy, water and wastewater standards and technologies within the utility and home building industries.

Responsible resource development basis extensions are available only if all of the following conditions exist:
