So does Riverside County. I've got two duplex outlets that have two
circuits each. They're each under a kitchen sink and each has a
garbage disposal plugged into it. One has the dishwasher plugged into
it and the other has nothing.
I think, although I don't really know, that it's more that garbage
disposals and dishwashers are required, by code, to be on dedicated
20A circuits and the fourth receptacle has its own circuit by default.
Is it clear that my kitchen has two sinks, two disposals, and one
dishwasher? That looks a little confusing to me.
