§ 15.04.028. Section 403.3.2 of the California Plumbing Code—Nonwater Urinals Installation and Maintenance.

Nonwater urinals shall be installed in all new commercial buildings anticipated for use by restaurants, fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, movie theatres, etc. Nonwater urinals shall be installed in all restroom remodels anticipated for use by restaurants, fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, movie theatres, etc. Retrofits at such locations shall convert existing urinals to waterless urinals. The owner of the building or manager of the business occupying the building shall provide and maintain a maintenance log near the fixture that records the frequency of seal and trap replacements. Such maintenance log shall be available during operating hours for inspection by the Building Official.

Exceptions:

1.

Simple replacement of urinal fixtures where preexisting copper or other similar plumbing not conducive to the use of waterless urinals due to the potential for erosion and damage is in use.

2.

Similar situations where, in the opinion of the Building Official, the use of waterless urinals is not appropriate.

3.

In such situations where waterless urinals are found to be inappropriate by the Building Official based upon existing plumbing features or other preexisting conditions, the installation of High Efficiency Urinals using less than or equal to 0.5 gallons of water to convey liquid waste (urine) into the gravity drainage system shall be required.
