Toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30% of residential indoor water consumption. Toilets also happen to be a major source of wasted water due to leaks and inefficiency. Most toilets throughout the USA use 3.5 gallons per flush or more depending on the condition of the toilet.
By making all toilets Manufactured or Sold in the USA to meet WaterSense standards of 1.28 gallons per flush or less we could save nearly 2 billion gallons of water per day across the entire United States. Switching to these high efficiency toilets can save a family of four an average of $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilets. This Policy would be of great asset in conserving our valuable fresh water resources.
