Don’t Forget Water Credits When Buying a Home In Carmel or Elsewhere on the Monterey Peninsula

September 27th, 2008 malone Posted in Water Issues | Comments Off

Water is a precious resource. Here on the Monterey Peninsula, we take that seriously.

So seriously, in fact, that we have an entire water management district to manage this precious resource. It’s called the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) and was formed in June of 1978. Along with managing and allocating water, the MPWMD promotes water conservation.

With these two goals in mind, the MPWMD created a system of water units and fixture credits to keep track of water usage on the Peninsula.

Why is this important? Because if you want to modify or add residential water fixtures (i.e. remodel your kitchen or your bathrooms) and the property is within the district, you must have a MPWMD permit.
