- WaterSense toilets are typically 1.28 GPF or lower and are widely accepted for replacement projects.
- Many California projects now require low-flow fixture standards when replacing toilets, showerheads, or faucets.
- Backflow prevention is commonly required where irrigation, boilers, or specific cross-connection risks exist.
- Permit and inspection requirements can differ by city and project scope, so we verify exact local requirements before work starts.

Water Quality in Van Nuys
Van Nuys is an LADWP service area drawing from MWD and local groundwater. The central Valley's water hardness averages 290–360 ppm TDS. In apartment buildings — which are prevalent in Van Nuys — hard water accelerates scale accumulation in recirculation loops and commercial-grade water heaters.
