It helps to be Benicia Water Wise, even through there is no drought. The State of California announced some time ago we have enough water. We go through this every year with the officials measuring the snow pack up in the mountains. That snow pack melts and eventually makes it way to the valleys and places beyond to help serve our state.
Even with that said, it is amazing how much water we use in our homes. I realized this when we had a slab leak recently. Holy Toledo, our water bills spiked and the gas bill was off the charts. It was as much as a mortgage payment!!
How much water does one use when going about their daily activities?
Washing hands with the tap running...up to 45 gallons YIKES! Wash and rinse in the sink-up to 5 gallons.
Brushing Teeth with tap running....10 gallons. YIKES! Wet brush, rinse briefly:1/2 gallon
Please be Benicia Water Wise even though there is no drought!
