Weird and random question...

If your electric power is knocked out, are you limited to the number of flushes to your toilet?

I'll come back later and explain.

    Common sense would tell that person that if the water systems power was knocked out as well as hers she would be limited to flushing because there would be no water being dispersed.  I think she may suffer from know-it-allitis.

    Yea, I remember those days.  lol  I guess it just depends on the city system.  This person refused to believe that all city toilets are not affected by power outages.

    We don't have well water so I had no idea.  But I do remember when we lived in FL and there were hurricane warnings and whatnot and filling the tubs with water so we could use that to flush the toilets.

    Yep, you are correct on the well and one flush!  We've been on a well so I do know this but we are on city water here and if a storm knocks out our power, the water does not fill back up in the tank, so we are limited to flushing.  I know that as long as there is water in the tank, you can flush, but even when we have had power knocked out on city water, we've had to use pool water to fill the tank.

    Someone told me I didn't know what the hell I was talking about. Of course I'm just going on my personal experience.  I know it's not always the case, but maybe it depends on the system itself?  

    Try explaining it to a person who will argue that Clinton was never impeached. Less painful to bang your head up against a concrete wall.

    If my electric goes out I'm limited to one flush simply because we are on well.  On a water system I don't believe you are but I could be wrong.  You're a nut btw!
