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

Well why don’t you do the calculations yourself, dumbass? You ask a question and then don’t believe those who take time to answer?

You’re a douchebag.

@$20 per 3000 gallons, you’re paying exactly $0.00667 per flush. Barely over half a penny for 1 gallon flush, and just under a penny for 1-1/2 gallon flush.

You can figure out the sewage cost yourself, dopey.

Water consumption part of the bill is like 20$

Yep, and in Baton Rouge there's no point in conserving water. Residential use is nothing compared to commercial.

Cost per flush is based on a sliding scale. It depends on when you flush and how often. You’re then billed accordingly.

I can. If you knew how billing works, you’d understand. The cost of a flush varies. One day it might cost $0.0067 dollars, and the next it might cost up to $0.0271 dollars per flush.

It's those high flow, Commando 450 shower heads that really crank up the water bill.

you save money on never needing a plunger
My plunger is the most indispensable tool in my house, and I am fricking amazing with it. I've seen grown arse men try to use a plunger and it's just fricking sad. This is how you unclog any toilet regardless of dookie size or rolls of TP in there:

Don't try to force the clog down. Instead, try to make it wiggle back/forth up/down.

1. Submerge the business end of the plunger
2. Slowly press down to get as much air out as possible
3. Use rapid/short strokes (like you're jackin' it and getting close) until you feel or see the water start to drain

Treat them like gold...these new 1.6 gpf suck - well, technically, don't suck. But you get what I'm saying
