DeKalb retrofit legislation vote happens tonight
December 5, 2007 at 10:30 am by Thomas Wheatley in NewsTonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Maloof Auditorium in downtown Decatur, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners is expected to vote on an ordinance that requires homes with pre-1993 plumbing to be retrofit with water-saving fixtures before they are resold. Supporters of the ordinance, such as DeKalb Commissioner Jeff Rader, say water-saving fixtures could save the county as much as 3.5 million gallons of water every day. It was originally supposed to be voted on in mid-November but was met with opposition by the real-estate industry, claiming such a move would shake the market, pose homeowners and purchasers to possible fines or criminal liability, and would not help ease the current water shortage.
CL will be there. From what we’ve heard, Realtors® will be as well. If you’re for or against it, you should try to attend, too.
