Filled 5 gallon buckets at the river to flush toilets .

@Erik BaumerThats why i do it , the cast iron pipes and the 1 gallon per flush toilets and houses with 100 feet of sewer lines .

This time was no different, we were losing 6 gallons A MINUTE....culprits ended up being 3 bad toilets and a couple of small water heater leaks into the crawlspace (I knew about those form the inspection.)Total repair and labor cost, around $500 MAX. 

Stationary Storage Tanks  If the subject property line is located within 300 feet of an above ground or subsurface stationary storage tank with a capacity of 1,000 gallons or more of flammable or explosive material, the site is ineligible for FHA insurance.

I had one tank with 485 gallons in it so that can add up. 

When we took over our park, water consumption jumped approximately 10-15,000 gallons per DAY when it would get really cold out as a result of everyone running water to try to prevent freezing. 

Turn off water heater . 1 gallon of pink in the toilets , 1/4 gallon in all traps .

Unless you think that the supermarkets where we buy our food don't do things like put wheat products on their shelves that include sawdust fillers, the gas stations never doctor their pumps to register a full gallon every .97 gallons, the waiters have never spit in anyone's food, the pharmacies are always giving you your medicines at a fair price, the public school teachers who care for our children are all passionate professionals instead of CYA pension-seekers, and of course that we have statesmen in political office with clean hands and clear hearts and pure thoughts running through their heads every moment of the day...All the hysterical protestations and declarations of extraordinary personal integrity here seem a bit overdone here, don't they?

I bought three inexpensive ones at the hardware store and put them outside, at the front door, garage walk door, and basement door.Most of the upstairs has hardwood floors, so I provided a microfiber mop, a gallon of Zep hardwood floor cleaner, a quart spray bottle, and even a funnel to get the cleaner into the spray bottle. 

It’s never been painted and has over the years had oil and likely gas spills.The area is 220 sq ft (just a 1 car) and from what I see in 1 gallon cans will more than cover the area.Question is what to get.
