Water Usage--We Can Measure Our Own

It's possible for us to check our daily use of water in San Francisco by going to myaccount.sfwater.org/

I was curious to see how it varied when my (very nice) tenant wasn't there because he takes showers, and I take baths (with very little water), and he uses the washer more than I do.

After his return we used 153 gallons daily--lower than what the SF Water Department gives as our goal.

But when he was gone, I used an average of 95 gallons a day.  In fact, the highest usage of water for thhat period was the day he left--254 gallons--so I guess he washed his clothes and showered before going.

My usage went from a low of 7 gallons on June 28 to a high of 172.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
