How many gallons of water, or HCF, does a typical family use in a month?

Your usage depends on the number of people in your household and your lifestyle. Refer to our rates for estimated usage by household size.

Also consider your lifestyle: You will use more water compared to a household with the same number of people if:

• You take more showers or baths
• You take longer showers or baths
• You do outside watering or fill a pool
• You do more loads of wash
• You do more dishwasher loads
• You have more company
• Your family includes a teenager or a baby
• Your appliances and toilets are older and less efficient
• You have not installed low flow shower heads or taken other conservation measures
• You have internal plumbing leaks that have not been fixed
