UGA asks football fans not to flush

http://www.atlantawatershortage.com/

The University of Georgia did a pretty neat trick to save some water at yesterday’s game against Troy. They asked visitors not to flush “if it’s yellow” and had attendants in the bathrooms to flush the toilets from time to time.

I have no idea how much water they saved, but at about five gallons per flush with 93,000 people at the game, it probably saved hundreds of thousands of gallons. Well done!

3. If it's yellow, let it mellow...

When it's brown, flush it down.

4. I was there, but I did not see or hear of any 'flushers' in the bathrooms

There was a psa from the gov on the jumboscreen during a timeout. I expected to hear "if it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down" but alas, I did not.

I did notice, and it was confirmed, that the water pressure at the hotel I stayed at in North Atlanta was down from normal. I was staying just a few miles from the Buford Dam on Lake Lanier.

btw, Go Dawgs Sic Em, Woof Woof Woof

Up next, Auburn
