* A High Efficiency Toilet is one that uses 1.28
gallons per flush or less. All WaterSense labeled Toilets meet this
criterion. To verify if your toilet is a high efficiency one, check the
manufacturer’s product information. The Water Factor assigned to a top
load washing machine is available on the manufacturers product
information and on the EnergyStar website. Please call the Water
Conservation Coordinator at 781-461-2788 if you need help making this
determination.
