Mayr Residence
A flushing compost Dowmus toilet is part of the waste management system. All brown and black water is treated by this simple but effective system. Grass clippings and compost waste can also be added to the system. Water collected from the roof is filtered through first flush manual devices to remove dirt and silt build up, and then directed to water storage tanks which were recycled from the original dwelling. Water quality was an important issue for the owners and the build up of leaves and other organic material on the roof and gutters are a major contributor to the contamination of water.
