<br />Single Family ReSidential Customers <br /> <br />As shown in this graph, indoor water use accounts for slightly under half of all the water <br />used by single family residential customers. Thebiggest portion of indoor use <br />comes from "domestic" uses - toilets, showers & baths, and faucets. No conservation <br />programs are planned for these uses because we expect inefficient plumbing fixtures <br />will be replaced naturally <br />over time. Because of <br />i'mprovements in <br />technology and projected <br />changes in federal <br />standards, we expect <br />clothes and dishwashers <br />will also become more <br />efficient over time. <br />However, since these <br />standards are not <br />currently in place, we are <br />planning to do some initial <br />promotion of water- <br />efficient appliances. <br /> <br />Residential Water Use <br /> <br />Toll.,s <br />,,. <br /> <br /> <br />L""'Cflpnll <br />'" <br /> <br />Outdoor irrigation accounts for over half of all single family water use, and 57% of <br />Denver Water's max day peaking usage.
