Did you know?
- In 2001, Canadians used an average of 335 litres of water each day.
- A mere 10% of our home water supply is used in the kitchen and as drinking water.
- About 65% of indoor home water use occurs in our bathrooms. Toilets are the single greatest water user.
- Indoor water use peaks twice a day year-round, in the mornings and evenings.
- The biggest peaks during the year occur in the summer, when about half to three quarters of all municipally treated water is sprayed onto lawns.
- As a community grows, the water use grows even faster because the diversity of water uses increases with size.
- 1000 litres = 1 cubic metre (m3)
