A simple way to save water. [View all]
Most of the rest rooms at Calif. State U. Long Beach (where I spend a lot of time) have automatic-flush toilets. The damn things seldom work properly. Either they don't flush when they need to, or they flush when they don't need to. So water is wasted, and some toilets are effectively unavailable, including those in stalls designed for people in wheelchairs. The same problem occurs in many other public restrooms in California.
The remedy for this problem is obvious.
