It’s got to be over a penny right? Not more than 3?

If it's yellow let it mellow
If it's brown flush it down

Water is sold by the thousand gallons. How much do you pay for that? Toilet can flush 1-1.5 gallon each time

2 of our 3 are still between 3-4 gallons per flush.

Because the water company screwed up my meter reading over the last couple of years, I have another months credit on the bill. Haven't paid a dime for water this entire year so far.

Rural water company drawing from the subterranean reservoir regularly runs $21.60/month for the 1st 3000 gallons.

Depends on your toilet. Do you have a 1 gallon toilet, Or a 1.5 gallon?

Even with a 3 gallon toilet and doubling it for sewage, it is still under a penny in most areas of the country.

Less than a cent. You could just look up your billing rate per 1000 gallons and do a calculation for each tier of use.

For an average home it’s pretty cheap. But in my home I have the Mega Flush 4000. Every flush is 3000 gallons of a high velocity watery stream that leaves both your toilet and your arse the type of shiny clean you’ve only ever seen in porno movies set at Home Depot.

Costs $100/flush but you save money on never needing a plunger, a toilet brush, or toilet paper.
