The first account is based on data from Denver Water. The other two are <br />hypothetical. For comparison's sake all accounts were assumed to be demographically <br />identical, with 2.71 people in the household and 4,000 square feet of landscape. <br /> <br /> <br />hours per week on <br />landsca e maintenance <br />method of irrigation <br /> <br />Average <br />Denver Water <br />Residential <br />Account <br /> <br /> <br />1 112 hours wk, + <br />5 hrs oncel ear <br />automatic sprinKler <br />system - no rainfall <br />or soil moisture <br />sensor installed <br />82,108 gallons <br /> <br />Residential <br />Account With <br />Moderate <br />Conservation 1 <br /> <br />560 allonslda <br />199 allcnslda <br />109,477 allons <br />$135.00 <br />$142.02 <br />2.5 pf <br />2.5 m <br />45 allons <br />65% of yard is tall <br />fescue lawn, <br />remainder is xeric <br />flower beds, <br />shrubs & ground- <br />covers. 2 mature <br />trees <br />1 3/4 hours wk, + <br />4 hrs oncel r <br />automatic sprinKler <br />system wlsoil <br />moisture sensor <br /> <br />59,118 gallons <br /> <br />Residential <br />Account With <br />Maximum <br />Conservation2 <br /> <br /> <br />1 1/2 hours wk, + <br />112 hr oncel r <br />manual irrigation <br />(hose dragger) <br /> <br />total water applied during <br />26-week rowin season <br /> <br />assumes low-flow showerhead. toilet dam or flow restrictor <br />2 assumes low-flow showerhead, UL V toilet and horizontal axis clothes washer <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />37,767 gallons <br />
