By: NIAGARA CONSERVATION® Niagara Conservation plans to expand its successful line of ultra-high-efficiency toilets and pioneering utility programs by investing in a new toilet manufacturing plant in Kokomo, IN, and increasing the size and scope of its Niagara Green City™ program. By 2015, the majority of Niagara’s ultra-high-efficiency toilets (UHET®) will be “Made in the U.S.A.” and manufactured at the newly refurbished Kokomo plant. “For nearly 40 years, Niagara has been a family-owned, forward-thinking company on the cutting-edge of water conservation,” At the new plant in Kokomo, Niagara Conservation plans to manufacture a wide range of UHET toilets, such as the company’s Stealth® line. The Stealth is the world’s lowest single flush toilet at 0.8 gallons per flush (GPF), while the Stealth Dual Flush offers users the option of a flush utilizing half the normal amount of water at 0.5 GPF or a full flush at 0.95 GPF. Both toilets meet EPA WaterSense® criteria and can save an average of 40,000 gallons of water annually when retrofitted with other bathroom fixtures. Also being produced at the new facility will be Niagara’s EcoLogic™ Flapperless® toilet, which saves water and eliminates the need to replace flappers, chains and levers making this toilet virtually maintenance- Furthermore, Niagara plans to expand its new Green City program, introducing new markets and partners in 2014 and beyond.
