The desity of fresh water is 1000kg/cubic meter or 62.43 lb/cubic foot. Based on an imperial gallon, one gallon would weigh 10lbs or based on a US gallon, one US gal would weigh 8.35 lbs.
I forgot what the flush volume is on those Prevost coaches, but I figure there's at least a good amount of it that is just flush water.

And yeah it's disgusting... but not that different then what other people do in those other poorer countries.
