The Water Math (Well, Arithmetic Really)

5/2/2015

0 Comments

 
While reading a recent OC Register article regarding personal water usage by various OC public office holders, I noticed that the article referenced how many gallons of water each person's household was using each month.  "Amazing" I thought to myself, "Our elected officials even get special water bills that tell them how many gallons of water they're using each month" unlike us mere mortals that get water bills that measure water only in mysterious "units" of water used.  Which got me to thinking how much water does my household use on average?  But I wanted the answer in gallons, not cubits, acre-feet, or liters or some other oddball measurement -- good old Imperial "gallons"!

So I turned my bill over, and in small print, which was also very faint, there was the magic number: 1 unit = 100 cubic feet!  Not the number that I was looking for, but it was a start.  Reading further, they finally admitted that 100 cubic feet of water equaled 748 gallons.  Would it kill them to put that on the front of the bill, and have their computer make that calculation instead of us consumers having to hunt it down?  The good news is that now I know that I use way too much water!  Time to cut back (some more).
