Careful though, some of those low-flush toilets you need to flush twice they're so weak.  It should be pretty clear when you buy that it's a low-flusher but check to make sure it works well.

These toilets save about 1.5gallons per flush, unless you have a super old toilet in which case it could save 4.5gallons or more per flush.  The average toilet is flushed 5 times a day.   Average savings per toilet per year: 2800gallons of water!

You can also create a dual flush toilet that saves a lot:

Rebates from $30-150 a year are available for those who opt to replace standard three-gallon flush toilets with low-flow models that use only about half as much water.  Find out more at www.bewaterwise.com/rebates01.html
