Water used for bathing, cooking and flushing toilets is considered essential indoor water use and is charged at the lowest rate.
On average, Denver Water’s single-family residential customers use about 50 gallons per person per day inside the home — about 10 gallons more per day than our efficiency experts would like to see people using.
To see how your family stacks up, find your average winter consumption listed on your bill.
Using the chart below, compare that consumption to the efficiency target of 40 gallons per person per day over the course of a month.
