Optimal Toliet Retrofit Program Evaluation: Optimization and Reliability of Selected Indoor Water Conservation Retrofits
Goals and Objectives
 
To assist water managers and utilities develop regional water supply plans based on parcel-level data to create a basis for bottom up assessment, best management practice options are evaluated including the retrofitting of toilets, replacing old toilets with high water efficiency ones. Prior to 1983, typical toilets used 5 gallons per flush. After 1994 the national plumbing code standard was 1.6 gallons per flush.
