IDIOTS!!! An idiot solution to an idiot caused problem. Our cities had sewer systems design and installed 100 years ago. Then, all of a sudden, an idiot declares low flow toilets MUST be installed and sold. SO... no water to flush all the crap through the lines. NOW, cities smell like piss and feces, more so, because the lines are stagnant and easily clogged with products that were just fine. SO, let’s ban the products. Next there will be a toilet paper ration.
Well, even if you had a ‘high-flush’ toilet - where does the stuff go that you flush down?
This isn’t about your personal toilet and the drains to/from your house; it’s also about what happens to the *stuff* when it travels along the pipeway to the treatment plant.
These things are causing major, expensive problems in the system. (A hundred years ago, we didn’t have baby wipes and tampons.)
Ultimately, you pay for the problems, out of your pocket or through your taxes.
It just seems to me to be a good idea to encourage practices that result in efficiency. A sewage system is like a highway - you have to have a license to drive, and you have to learn the rules in order to get the license in the first place. Without that system, all kinds of crap would happen (no pun intended ;-)
