Incentives

I do not pay a water bill. It is part of my fixed Homeowners' Association dues. My shower leaks. It has leaked for eighteen months. I have no plan to fix it.

I pay my electric bill. My heat pump broke a month ago. I have not fixed it, and do not plan on fixing it anytime soon.

So to compensate, I am not going to flush my piss to conserve water. Only if it is shit, will I flush it.

So you haven't gotten the heat pump fixed because you do not want to spend money on electricity? Shouldn't that conservation offset the leaky shower?

Water for water, electricity for electricity, that is how I roll.

Both are sheer laziness and some contemplation about the best solution.

have tried the yellow let mellow- brown flush down situation when the toilet was on the blink for a little while... and Ican tell - it doesn't end well.

will go from toilet to cess pool at the blink of an eye.
