I just got the water bill today and decided to start tracking our water usage over time, because I would like to find ways to reduce it. Our water usage for this bill (2 months) was 13 CCF (1 CCF = 100 Cubic Feet = 748 Gallons). When I busted out the calculator (13 CCF * 748 Gal = 9724 gallons). So over 2 months (60 days) it looks like we are using 9724 gallons/60 = 162 gallons a day. I don't know, that seems a little high to me. When I checked out the web site for my local water company and found out that average water use in San Jose over the same period of time (2 months) is 40 CCF. So our usage is roughly 1/3 of a normal household in San Jose. Not bad, but I think we can do better. Hopefully by this time next year (or by looking at old bills) I'll be able to put together a picture of our water use over a year or more.
