The movie industry, perhaps the last world dominating industry in California, should particularly appreciate this. As far as I know there are no non-incandescent lamps useful for film. For that matter even still flash's are incandescent - bye bye evening photography in Cali.

Al Bundy recommends a Ferguson.

Just flush two or three times. Water saving toilets indeed!

That was a case of non-real world measurement of water flow. Comparing 3.5 gallons vs 1.6 gallons looks like you're saving more than 50% of the water. However, you often need two flushes to get the job done. Also, the common way of flushing a toilet use to be "push the handle and let go immediately" now I see more signs up to "push the handle and hold it down until everything is flushed". I doubt that the 1.6 gallon toilet is still actually 1.6 gallons if you "push and hold" the handle.

Actually, if the low water toilet regulations encourage the universal implementation of courtesy flushes in the interest of clog avoidance, then maybe they aren't so bad after all.
