Last week I had to contact my city's water department to send someone out to the house to turn off my water at the street because a major water leak had developed under the house to the point water was leaking outside the house and also coming inside the house.
Now that the water has been shut off I cannot use the commode. Our plumber who we've used for more than twenty (20) years can't come out to check things out until next Thursday; August 13th.
In the meantime how can I flush the commode with no water coming into the house? Buy a lot of water and bring it inside the house to use to pour into the commode to flush it? My tank is a 1.6 gallon capacity tank which replaced an older 5 gallon capacity tank in 2006.
Would I need to pour water into the tank; fill up the tank or could I pour the water into the toilet's bowl? How much water would I need to flush with? At least 2 gallons? More than two gallons? Feedback would be appreciated.
