<<-- in a whole year, using average water cost figures, a low flush model will save something like $59 worth of water ? (I have no idea what quantity of water that translates into).>> Quick-drawing my rusty, er, trusty HP, $59 worth of water in my town calc's to 19,666.666 gallons (let's say 20,000) of water, based on the recent price increase from .25 cents (1/4 of one cent) to .30 cents per gallon. So, 1,000,000 people would "save" 20,000,000,000 gallons per year. 200,000,000 people would save, theoretically, 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons per year. If we assume that a family or other group of four shares each "invention chair", or "Dad's throne" as it's called in some households, the water conservation is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons per year. Simply FWIW.
