Should the force of government be used to set a time for flushing? Where is the victim?
Simply pointing out that this will save them some money in a hard time and clean out the pipes and asking people to so something. I don't know any libertarian (small or big "L") that would care at all about it. Now if the Brown Shirts showed up to ensure you flushed on schedule, then we'd have a problem.
The use of force is impractical in this instance, as it'd take more to enforce than it would be worth and involve gross violations of privacy which sets horrendous precedents. It would also have the effect of unnecessarily subsidizing a system that just , perhaps, doesn't feel like reforming itself, but could if it tried.
