Mark says:
"The City could have a program where a developer could pay into a toilet
replacement fund to cover the cost of replacing enough toilets that his
or her development ended up water budget neutral. In this instance, the
developer would have to "buy" 384 low-flush toilets to balance the water
books"

This is all well and good, but why not take it a step further.  The City
could have a policy of offering said low-flush toilets (as Nils said --
as long as they work) to the public at large, allowing people to "pay
them off" on their monthly water bill.

One problem (with either plan) -- what do do with all those old toilets?
Take up landfill space?  That's not very "sustainable".  Maybe there's a
market for crushed up toilets -- powder for use in concrete?  Recycle
the material into new toilets?  I don't know, but my experience with
busted toilets is that they turn into many sharp pieces.  I'm sure
someone knows what can be done, but before we get too carried away with
the retrofitting I think we need to find out what to do with the old
stuff.
