<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. The biggest 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 /> <br />will be replaced naturally Residential Water Use <br />over time. Because of <br />improvements in <br />technology and projected <br />changes in federal <br />standards, we expect <br />clothes washers and <br />dishwashers will also <br />become more efficient <br />over time, However, since <br />these standards are not <br />currently in place, we are <br />planning to do some initial <br />promotion of water- <br />efficient appliances. <br /> <br />F.uctl. <br />'" <br /> <br /> <br />Toll", <br />13% <br /> <br />landtCllplng <br />64% <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, It also offers the largest potential water <br />savings.
