This is an idea that they need in Japan too - they are having problems with (as stated repeatedly) "courtesy flushes", especially from the female stalls, where people flush once before doing their duty and then flushing again. There have been a few calls for change and I don't know whether or not they put in a 30-60 second timer between flushes or not, but it's relatively wasteful, especially in Tokyo where it's really easy to push off the responsibility onto someone else.

I am thinking that this might not be a bad idea for here in Reno either - it's a desert and very easy to waste the water we have.

The current sewage system which is admittedly disproportionate and old-fashioned, taxes households based on their home’s value, not usage. By repricing sewage on a pay-as-you-go basis — pun intended — the plan would theoretically provide an incentive to go easy on water consumption.
