Toilet Repair in Springdale, AR
In Springdale the housing is mostly newer — just 39% predates 1990 — and 58% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
58% of occupied homes in Springdale are owner-occupied and 42% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Springdale’s housing suggests
Springdale is newer than most: just 39% of its 38,051 housing units predate 1990. The flush-volume question that dominates older towns mostly does not arise here.
What does arise is the opposite one. Early fixtures built to meet the new limit cut the water without redesigning the bowl, and some of them flush poorly by design.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
