A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to preventing water waste in buildings.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Statement of findings and purpose. Leaks and equipment malfunctions in buildings have the potential to waste a tremendous amount of water and can persist undetected for years. The council therefore finds that alarms and sub-meters attached to piping supplying water-using equipment will help building managers quickly detect such leaks and malfunctions, and save significant amounts of water from being wasted.
