The government is paying for my crapper.

Yep. Here in SoCal, if you have an older home, you can apply for a voucher for new water closets, toilets....aka...crappers. Its in the interest of saving water. Just got 2 in the mail...$165 each...not bad. The vouchers can be used for the actual toilet and essentials, like wax ring, plumbing fittings, and seat. :)

Get 1 of them really comfortable seats! B|



You talking stylish and ergonomic or more old school comfy...cushiony w/ the seam on the inside that gets painful if you've got a good article?


Well, nothing that induces pain is good, so I'll take the former vs the latter.

You should have to then reimburse the government (or should I say, your fellow taxpayers) out of the savings you get on your water bill.

Well, doesn't it kind of just demonstrate that California feels its citizens are plenty keen on doing the right thing ... as long as someone else pays for it?

Kind of funny use of flash on the home page. Asses.



I don't know if you've ever used them, but those things are the pretty f**k**g nice...really!!;) Some have heated seats, remote control...good stuff.

$165???? Have you priced a new toilet lately? $165 isn't going to come close, especially if you want a water saving one that will work. I don't know the brand name, but a friend has one that mixes compressed air with the water and it works pretty good - not cheap though. You will find that to save water, you will have to flush several times and not save water at all. :S

i believe i have already paid my share. when i build a house, roughly 12% of the overall cost is paid in permits, up front. last one i did i paid 18 grand.

yes i know, but the 165 helps. the voucher can be used at plumbing contractor supply house, so prices will be a bit better the retail.

i was thinking more about this. so when i get a rebate check when i install a solar system, (same idea, resource savings) do you think i should continue to pay my "share."?!

these programs would not be in existence if the goal was to cost taxpayers more money. granted that the execution of such programs does not always meet such goals.

Yes, they use less water per flush. But you have to flush twice to get the job done, so the net water savings is nothing!

Your one warning.



Um, if you look at the context, that wasn't a personal insult towards the member who posted the message.

It was an insult towards the politician. And as far as I know, the rules here allow politicians to be fair game.

HOLY CRAP!! how much toilet paper are you guys using??? or what the hell are you eating :o:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I have had the low volume toilets for the last few years, never had any problems. Only once had to pull out a plunger.

We have a toilet where if you flush normally, it takes almost no water. If you pull the handle up, it gives you a massive flush. It's needed only rarely so it still saves quite a bit of water.
