Know your water budget
How much water are you using? Chances are, you glance at the amount of your water bill
each month but don't have a clear understanding of how much is the "right" amount based
on your household or multi-unit facility size.
The Eugene Water & Electric Board suggests that residential customers, as well as owner
and managers of a multi-unit housing facility, develop a water budget to help monitor usage,
identify leaks, determine if you need to take steps to reduce water consumption and save money
as a result. The goal of the water budget is to estimate an average of how much water would be
used per-person and for each 1,000 square feet of your landscape. Then you can compare your
water bill to this calculation of the average for both indoor and outdoor needs.
Use the Water Budget link below to calculate the average amount of water usage.
