You say that the Controllable Flush can reduce a typical familys water use by 20 percent, but can cut that same familys water bill by more than 50 percent. How is that possible?
Most municipalities charge two different rates, which you see reflected on your water bill. One rate is simply for water that is, the water coming into your house. The other is for sewage the water and waste leaving your home and entering the public sewage system. Processing that sewage is more expensive than supplying your home with clean water; you can be charged four or five times as much per gallon on the sewer portion of your bill than the water portion. The Controllable Flush reduces the amount of water coming into your home, but more significantly, it reduces the amount of sewage going out.
