Low-flow toilets leave San Fran smelling like ass.
sfgate- San Francisco's big push for low-flow toilets has turned into a multimillion-dollar plumbing stink.
Skimping on toilet water has resulted in more sludge backing up inside the sewer pipes, said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public Utilities Commission. That has created a rotten-egg stench near AT&T Park and elsewhere, especially during the dry summer months.
The city has already spent $100 million over the past five years to upgrade its sewer system and sewage plants, in part to combat the odor problem.
Now officials are stocking up on a $14 million, three-year supply of highly concentrated sodium hypochlorite - better known as bleach - to act as an odor eater and to disinfect the city's treated water before it's dumped into the bay. It will also be used to sanitize drinking water.
That translates into 8.5 million pounds of bleach either being poured down city drains or into the drinking water supply every year.
Those bay area clowns think they're so superior with their forward thinking views on toilets. Well who's superior now? Those low-flow toilets suck balls. It takes like three flushes to get everything down. And I'm not talking about a massive shit, I'm talking about pee. How is that saving water? And now the whole city stinks like shit, they have 8.5 million pounds of bleach in the drinking water supply, and the whole sewer system is fucked. Good luck with that San Francisco.
