Dekalb County says “no more old crappers” around here!
Monday, May 5th, 2008Oh Oh, looks like homeowners in unincorporated Dekalb County will have to replace some of their old crappers before they are able to get their water hooked up. The ordinance goes into effect on June 1, 2008 and applies to all residential homes that were built before 1993.
Not only will you have to replace your toilet but also showerheads and faucets. Before you are able to hook up your water you will have to provide a “certificate of compliance” for all fixtures. The certificate must be signed by either a home inspector, or licensed plumber, or inspector with Dekalb County’s Dept. of Watershed Mgt. at www.dekalbwatershed.com.
The county is doing this due to recent drought conditions in Atlanta and they need homeowners to replace this stuff with water saving plumbing fixtures.
So, if you are seller thinking about selling you will have to disclose if your crapper is old on the sellers disclosure statement. For buyers, it’s just another thing that you will have to negotiate with the sellers on.
