Wednesday 6021 m³ 6022 m³
Thursday 6022 m³ 6023 m³
Friday 6023 m³ 6024 m³
Amount of water used during 1st week : 6 m³
Pupils writing down the indication of the water meter
At the end of the first week we placed small fire bricks in the toilet tanks so as to reduce the amount of water used per flush.

Thursday 6031 m³ 6031,8 m³
Friday 6031,8 m³ 6032,6 m³
Amount of water used during 3rd week: 4,5 m³
Conclusion
Measurements taken during the first week showed that water consumption at our school was about 1m³ per day. After placing the fire bricks in the toilet tank of our school one can notice that water consumption at school was reduced to 0,8 m³ of water per day. We managed to save almost 0,2 m³ of water per day or 2m³ per week!
Placing a fire brick in the toilet tank is a good and clever way to reduce water consumption!
Save water… Save the planet !!!
