The cost would be divided between <br />the City and the customer. This would be a five-year project, with a goal <br />of 300 homes per year, 1,500 total. <br /> <br />Residential indoor water use for homes built before 1994 <br /> <br />1997 - 2001 <br /> <br />Water & Power <br /> <br />If all devices were installed, water savings could be significant. Using data <br />from our water audit project, a customer could save an average of IS per- <br />cent of their indoor water use by doing a complete retrofit. Based on an av- <br />erage indoor water use of 6,500 gallons per month, each home could save <br />975 gallons per month. For 300 homes, this means a savings of292,500 <br />gallons per month or 3,510,000 gallons per year. Over five years, the an- <br />nual savings could be 17,550,000 gallons per year. To evaluate water sav- <br />ings, a follow-up survey could estimate how many devices were installed. <br /> <br />May 1996 <br /> <br />54 <br /> <br />Water Conservation Plan <br />
