    Each day the average toilet will use about 33 gallons of water. That might sound like a lot, but it's a big improvement. In 1999, the average toilet guzzled more than 45 gallons of water daily.https://n.pr/2xxMQC9

        If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

        Letting it mellow since the seventies. Drilled into me by my parents. Also turning off lights when leaving a room.

        Saving water for the football field size lawns the 1% predominately have and never use always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling

        We either pay for better toilets, or pay for more water infrastructure (plus interest on the Bond that would initially front the cost). Or pay more for the increasingly scarce water itself. No matter what, growth has its price.
