In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Niagara, a manufacturer of high-performance, water-saving toilets, announced today a new program that will provide a donation of 100 toilets to a select affordable housing developer in the U.S. for its next project. The new program is part of Niagara’s larger mission to reduce water consumption and utility bills and help nonprofits and affordable housing projects redirect their saved water expenses in order to improve the lives of their communities.

Approximately 50 years ago, Bill Cutler, founder of Niagara, began working on water-saving inventions in his garage. Those inventions led to creating Niagara’s patented Stealth Technology in 2000 and the world’s first 0.8 gallons per flush toilet with a re-engineered flush that was also high-powered, low-maintenance, virtually clog-free and water-efficient. Several years later, Niagara became the leader in the country for creating products that help municipalities save billions of gallons of water through rebate programs.
