If it had to come down to an odour in a toilet (that can
have the lid closed and the bathroom door closed) or
drinking water, I'd choose conserving the water. I was
nearly twenty before the holiday house of our choice was
connected to the sewer, pans were the toilet, they were
emptied once a week, there were 11 of us staying in the
holiday house at one time, no air fresheners or spray
deodorants. It's not the end of the world I think in any
emergency situation priorities are set in place, a stinky
toilet is no biggie.
