Residential Annual Water Demand in Gallons Per Capita Per Day
As of Feb 2026:
- This is an annual metric and only reflects data through 2025. Residential water use decreased 7% in 2025 compared to 2024.
- Metric is typically updated in March.
- This measure reflects all metered residential water use (single-family, duplex, and multi-family rate codes). It does not, however, include any water used by commercial rate codes associated with residential properties (like irrigation accounts, club houses, pools, offices and other uses that typically have a commercial rate code). It also does not include unmetered water, such as water losses in the distribution system, prior to being billed to the customer. Therefore, this residential number is not calculated the same way as ENV 101.
- This metric is highly dependent on weather conditions’ impacts on residential irrigation water use.
- The AWWA National Water domestic per capita consumption benchmark from 2017 is about 61 gallons per person per day, which is notably lower than ours. This is likely due to certain areas in the US not needing to irrigate landscapes, whereas in the arid west, outdoor water use is much higher and contributes to greater per capita water consumption.

Overall Water Conservation Program Effectiveness (million gallons/year)
As of March 2026:
- Currently, this is an annual metric only reflecting data through 2025 and is typically updated in March.
- This metric includes the estimate water savings from over 16 different Water Conservation programs with quantifiable savings. This does not reflect water savings from education, behavior change and other passive activities like building/land use codes or water supply requirements, which are more challenging to measure and estimate.
- 169 million gallons of water savings was estimated in 2025. This savings level reflects about X% of overall treated water production in 2025 (excluding large contractual users) and is a 6% decrease in savings from 2024 (11 million gallon difference).
