Conservation Effort Leaves Choir Flush
- Share via
Southern California Water Co. will present a $17,000 check today to the Los Alamitos High School Choir for its water conservation efforts. Members helped the company distribute 1,150 of its ultra-low-flush toilets to residents citywide. In return, the company agreed to give students $15 for each one.
The toilets are designed to save about five gallons of water per flush. Regular toilets use about seven gallons a flush; the low-flush toilets use about 1.6 gallons, said Lisa Lawson, the company’s community and customer relations administrator.
The students also helped the company educate residents on how to recycle old toilets.
