Saving Water and Money
The average american uses about 7, 665 gallons of water each year just flushing the toilet, according to the US Department of Energy. Based on the average cost of $4 for 1000 gallons each American spends around $30 a year on toilet water alone. A family of four spends at least $120 each year on toilet water. Leaking toilets can add at least 200 gallons to each person's daily use as well! In addition, many families buy chemical fertilizers for their landscaping which could be replaced with the humus Composting Toilets produce, saving them money on lawn care.
The price per flush will only increase as areas of the United States continue to experience drought and dry conditions.
