This can be a helpful way of seeing when your own water use reaches its highest levels. What is your usage trend?ĭoes your bill explain your household's usage trend? Some utilities provide graphs like the ones below that show how your water use has varied over the course of the year and previous years. For example, water use tends to be higher in drier areas of the country that rely more on irrigation for outdoor watering than in wetter parts of the country that can rely on more rainfall.īased on information from Water Research Foundation, “Residential End Uses of Water, Version 2.” 2016 and The US Geological Survey, “ Estimated Water Use in the United States.” 2015.
But usage varies a great deal across the country, mostly because of differences in weather patterns. That means a family of four would use around 10,000 gallons in a 30-day period. What does your usage mean? The average American uses around 82 gallons per day per person in the household. But you may be more familiar with the other unit, the gallon. The first "C" comes from the Roman word for hundred, "centum.” This is the most common unit used by both water and natural gas utilities.
A CCF also called an HCF (hundred cubic feet), represents one hundred cubic feet of water. The most common units are centum cubic feet (CCF) and the gallon. Different utilities use different units for measuring water use.
