Total Weekly Water Use:

 

*Based on figures from Ontario Hydro (some are averages based on ranges)

  1. Our home water supply comes from:
    ___private well
    ___municipal water supply
    ___other


  2. Water cost:
    ___we pay a flat rate
    ___we are metered and pay for volume used
    ___we do not pay for water
    ___we are on a well and do not pay for water, but pay indirectly for electricity to run pump


  3. Leak Survey: Check all taps for any leaks (check around the base, around the handles) and check for any taps that continue to drip after they have been shut off. (A leaky tap loses 25 litres of water per day or 9,000 litres per year. Often only a $ .10 washer or other inexpensive and easy-to-do repair is all that is required.)
