Excerpt from Water Works Efficiency, Vol. 14: Present Capacity and Future Requirements

The consumption of water per capita of the total population is, on the whole, the most convenient unit to use in comparative statistics of water consumption. Such per capita consumption depends upon many factors, such as character of population and amount of water used in manufacturing. It also depends, to an even greater degree, upon the economy with which the water is used, or the care which is taken to prevent waste. Accord ing as such waste is great or small, the consumption of water is likely to range from as high as 250 gallons per capita, daily, to 75 or 80 gallons per capita. In the prevention of such waste, the one thing which is most effective is the general use of meters, and it is shown by statistics that where meters are so used the consumption is invariably held to a moderate figure.
