Based on the performance of you and your minions at city hall plus the crap you have been feeding the voters of Toronto the answer is not low flow toilets but rather much larger and bigger flow toilets.
Lake mayors cut water useUrge ban on old-fashioned, inefficient toilets |
Twenty-nine municipalities surrounding the Great Lakes have adopted a goal of reducing water consumption by 15%, but provincial governments have a role to play and should ban the sale of old-fashioned, inefficient toilets, Toronto Mayor David Miller said yesterday.
The 20 Canadian and nine U.S. municipalities are aiming to hit their targets by 2015 to reduce strain on the Great Lakes and save money in the long run, Miller said.
"Water treatment and distribution is extremely energy-intensive; in some municipalities it represents the top energy consuming activity," Miller said during a conference call from Grand Rapids, Mich., where he attended the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Cities Initiative meeting.
"Consuming less water means consuming less energy, which means reducing greenhouse gases, and the silver lining is the municipalities save money through water conservation."
