Activity 2.2.1 My Daily Water Use

Three months of water usage

 June 13-July 15: 13,300 gallons

July 16-August13: 11,201 gallons

August 14-September 12: 12,700 gallons

Average number of gallons across all three bills

13,300 + 11,201 + 12,700 = 37,201/3 = 12,400 average per month

Water usage per month and per person

12,400/3 = 4,133gallons/person/month

Water usage per person and per day

4,133/30 =137.77 gallons per day

Household Water Usage Calculator

1.)  Chelan County Water Use.   
681gallons per day
681/3= 227 gallons per person

2.) Home Water Works
211.5gallons per day
70.5gallons per person

The water bills I have used to take data from are from my aunt and uncle. They are not mine. With that being said, from the data shown above, I have found that the usage of water per day is around the same, but still a little higher amount of water used daily by households in the United States of America, which is more than 300 gallons per day. Compared to a Texas household's water usage, which is 283.8 gallons per day (divided by 8,514, which is the monthly average in Texas, by 30 days, giving me 283.8) less than the daily average for my aunt's and uncle's home. In 2023, San Antonio's residential water usage was 6,275 gallons per month divided by 30 days, equaling 209.17 gallons per day. This is lower than both calculations for the amount of water usage in my aunt's and uncle's house. Considering the two different amounts of water usage in the results from different calculators, I believe it would be around 491 gallons per day; at least that's my guesstimate. Meaning that between the country's average water use and the state's average, along with the city's average, my aunt's and uncle's average daily water usage is higher.
