If it looks like your pipes are going to freeze, you bite the bullet and simply drain them, using the provided fittings and valves.
And, you add some antifreeze to your toilet, after you flush it to empty the tank.
- woodruffw 4y agoThis works if you live in a house, but lots of people live in apartment buildings where they don't have access to the necessary valves. The building's superintendent could theoretically do it, but it's a huge task for a large building.

If we're talking catastrophic, persistant, total grid collapse, you won't want a flushing toilet. It'll be time to start doing nutrient recycling instead of relying on industrially applied fertilisers to crops -- because that infrastructure depends largely on the other and will inevitably collapse too. You'll be wanting a composting toilet.
