Table 1: Minimum specifications for high efficiency homes
The City of Roseville is one of nine agencies participating in a national research study sponsored
by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The goal is to determine if advanced
technologies in new homes reduce water demand. The study will evaluate how “standard” new
homes compare to “high efficiency” new homes in regards to water use. The last national study
of this kind was conducted in 1999 after the plumbing standards changed.
This program is open to builders who are constructing new high efficiency homes within the City
of Roseville water utility service territory to include advanced water saving technologies. Each
home constructed that incorporates all features specified in Table 1 are eligible to receive a
$1,500 rebate per home from the City of Roseville. The program target is to rebate 20 new
homes.
Builders participating in this study will be nationally and locally recognized in various publications
and formats.
The City of Roseville is working to secure equipment donations or significant manufacture price
reductions on Smart Irrigation Controllers and high efficiency washer/dryer sets. Contact (916)
746-1710 for status information prior to purchase.
