Old Fashioned Water Trick

If you want to save money on your water bill, here's one thing
that really helps. Fill a bottle with water and put it in the
tank of your toilet. Put it away from the works, so it doesn't
interfere with the ball. Flush first and then place it where
you want while the tank is empty. It will take less water to
fill the tank, and you won't notice the difference when you
flush. But you'll be using that much less water with every
single flush!

For some toilets, you can simply adjust the filler mechanism
to stop the incoming water at a lower level.

The more toilets you do this to, the more money you will save
on your water bill! Save water and save money!

I've heard something similar using a brick instead of a container of water, but I've never tried it. I should...

The brick will break down over time and start to clog your pipes. Using the water bottle will last longer and save money in the long run. HTH.

Just be sure that you still have enough water in the tank to totally flush the toilet or you may end up with a nasty clog.
