Q: I’m remodeling my bathroom. Do I automatically have to buy water?
A: No. Don’t assume you need to purchase additional water just because you’re remodeling.
If your home is serviced by Cal Am and falls under the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, your property has water credits that apply toward the fixture count in your home.
For example, having two sinks in a bathroom does not automatically mean you need to purchase additional water.
Every project is different, which is why understanding your existing water credits and the requirements for your remodel should happen before you start spending money.
