Re: Flush Green!

Low flow toilets are important because lower water consumption means less energy to pump the stuff.  When more people use less water, more people can be supplied with the same pumps and pipes.  This is a saving for the city which is reflected in lower taxes as well as the lower water bills for the users.

Unfortunately, 70% of our fresh water is used for agriculture and 20% for industry.  If all homeowners stopped using any water at all, it will not stop the water table in Arizona from dropping one meter each year.

From an environmental point of view, it is more important to keep toxins from entering the sewers.  Once sewage is polluted with toxins it can not be cleaned up, so toxic water goes back into the rivers and toxic sludge gets buried in toxic landfil.
