Nitrousbird Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Usage: 5600 gallons, 35 days. Del-Co Water Specs: - 2003 built home - 2 adults (my wife and I). During time period, she was gone 15 of those days. I was gone 2 of them. Daily showers when there, of course. - Appliances all 7 months old - Whirlpool Gold dishwasher, Frigidaire front loader high efficency washing machine. Rarely hand-wash dishes. - Normal clothes washing - each of us probably does 2-3 loads/week. Maybe less. Easily less while my wife was gone. - No water leaks anywhere. No pooled water around the house, no faucets leaking, nadda. No signs of water useage that we don't mean to use. - Home humidifier in the furnace, but that's doesn't use much water. - Showers only, no baths. No car washing, power washing, nothing...it's winter! - We don't leave the water running when brushing our teeth. Sometimes take a long shower. House has pretty average water pressure. In comparison, my empty Reynoldsburg house, water is billed evey 3 months, and billed per 1000 gallons. From Oct-Dec (no one living there), I used 1000 gallons. I had also power washed the whole house and the roof (several hours of power washing), and have a dripping faucet. Also did a crap ton of painting there, so probably a couple hours worth total of water running to clean paint supplies. For the life of me I can't figure out how we used 5x that much at home in 1/3 the amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have a friend staying with me and my gf pretty much lives here (does laundry and such). It was only 1 person here for 10 days, and the bill was for 29 days and 3920 gallons were used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
