If nothing happens when you flip the lever, perhaps the chain is no longer connected to the handle. This is a common problem. Take the top of the tank off and make sure there is a chain from the end of the handle to the flapper at the bottom. If there is no water in the tank, you need to check the fill valve and float to make sure that there is water to flush it out with. All these components are relatively easy to replace with a kit from a hardware store and simple tools most people already have. Many of the kits even include some Teflon tape for the threads.

If the toilet works each time on one flush, they use roughly half the water of a standard toilet. You would then use half as much a month on the toilet. They do not always flush completely on the first flush and the toilet is only a part of the water bill.
