And While We're on the Subject of Water...

When we picked out the toilet for my new Belle Creative Writer's Studio, we didn't get a super environmentally friendly water saving one, but one that is better than the one that is in the house.
Here's a partial press release on a super water saving urinal:
Zurn Engineered Water Solutions, one of the largest manufacturers of commercial plumbing products in the nation, is introducing a “green” urinal system that uses only one pint of water per flush. By comparison, most urinals use one gallon or more per flush. The Zurn EcoVantage™ Pint Urinal System is a certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) product.

The EcoVantage Pint Urinal is an excellent alternative to waterless urinals. Its extremely low water consumption represents an 85% water savings compared to a one-gallon urinal. This overall savings translates into an average of up to 30,000 gallons per urinal per year, which makes this product ideal for both retrofits of existing facilities and new construction.
