Each toilet uses about two gallons of water per flush, and the average person uses the bathroom about seven times a day. If we’re looking at a business that had 134 people use the bathroom about 1,200 gallons of water would be ingested per day just using the restroom. 

 With that information in mind, California is currently in a class D3 D4 drought which implies that “Fire Season” is all year round, and Reservoirs and water for agriculture are extremely low. Because of the lack of agriculture, this not only affects California but the rest of the United States. 

An example of one of these essentials is made by a company called Sink Twice. Their main focus is to save water when following through with daily needs. They have made toilet toppers that double as a sink, so whenever you finish doing your business you wash your hands, and the wastewater from that also works to clear the toilet. So it not only saves about 1 gallon of water every flush but promotes good hygiene such as hand washing.

 Now that you know about the issue and are ready to help conserve water, we’d love for you to check out some additional water conservative household essentials.
