GPF <br /> <br />CON8.ERVATION OF RESOURCES <br /> <br />The ULV toilet will save 54% of the water used by conventional 3.5 gpf <br />units and 68% of the water used by an older 5 gpf model. Total indoor <br />residential water use can be reduced by up to 30%. <br /> <br />COSTS <br /> <br />Excellent UL V fixtures are available anywhere from $100.-300. retail. <br />Wholesale cost to builders should be considerably less. In the City of <br />Denver, the Water Board has offered an $80. rebate for the purchase of any <br />UL V unit, further reducing the consumer cost and comparing favorably <br />with the current plumbing standards. And studies have shown that, in <br />Denver, savings of up to $110. per year are possible from these fixtures, <br />$60. in reduced water and sewer bills and $50. in reduced mortgage <br />payments due to lower initial tap fees. (Morris, Univ. of CO., 1989) <br />These fixtures also indirectly assist in savings of energy, capital, and <br />other resources required to pump, purify, and treat both clean water <br />supplies and wastewater flows, <br /> <br />3 <br />
