In the past a typical non-conserving 5.5 gallon flush toilet (many of which are still in use) would contaminate 13,000 gallons of fresh water per year to remove 165 gallons of body waste. There had to be a better way to conserve our water!
For this reason, 1.6 gallon water saving toilets came to be required on new construction, first in individual states like California, New York, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Washington, and after 1993 for new construction throughout the United States
