The radio talk shows in NYC are now mentioning that the inauguration of the first dual flush toilet installed in NYC government buildings will be graced by none other than Nobel Peace Prize and Oscar winner -— Al Gore.
Remember that new municipal building in Philly? They were going to have some sort of “new” waterless bathroom fixtures, but the plumbers union got upset, and they ended up running capped supply pipes as well.
I haven’t heard much about the success (or failure) of the fixtures, but as much as detest “featherbedding”, having a backup in this case isn’t a bad idea, even though that wasn’t the purpose.
Soon all New Yorkers will be required to take Weasley’s “U-No-Poo!”
Actually, I’d consider the toilet if the cost/payback were reasonable. I like to save money whenever, and wherever I can. I’m on the “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” system now. But I admit to modifying my low flush toilet to allow a lot more water into the tank.
