    Ahh the brick idea is so smart! Our power went out recently due to Hurricane Irma and we have a well so our water was also out. It was actually a huge eye-opener because we had to use a pitcher to refill the toilet tanks and it bummed me out seeing how much water it took to make them flush. This is a cheap band-aid until we can swap the toilets for more efficient options!
