Today's water-saving toilets have received higher consumer satisfaction ratings as a result of proper plumbing fixtures. Aside from that, water leaks from toilets have been regulated under the standards that have been in place since 1989. According to the NCSL report, a few other states followed suit, and the federal government enacted national standards in the US Energy Policy Act of 1992.
