We are environmental stewards and love renters who also believe in conserving water, leaving no trace behind, and leave it as you found it (or better) mentality. This home has a private well and septic system where extreme constant water use can ruin it. Like all private wells, they are self sustaining if you allow for water to replenish between use. You cannot flush any grease or food products down drain and should never flush anything besides tp down the toilet (even if packaging may tout ‘flushable’).
