Water Saving & Target 155 – Part 2

April 22, 2009

Because its Earth day today, I decided to blog something environmental-ish… I do not consider myself an environmental type person, I am not even that “green” really… but I do care… a lot. 

You might recall my Water Saving & Target 155 post from back in January where we as a household were using 851 litres a day… thats just over 106 litres per person per day… Thats also 49 litres a day lower than the target of 155 litres…  

Well, its surprising how quickly another 3 months has passed… And another water bill… And what a surprise !! 

We were hoping for under 800 litres per day for our household… or 100litres per person (remember there are 8 of us!!)… a tough goal at any time of the year, but especially tough in Summer…

Target 155 smashed !! - And no water was wasted in the capture of these images

Well, I am proud to announce that we SMASHED 800litres…  Smashed I say !! With our households daily water usage at just 767litres… Less than the recommneded usage for a Family of 5 !! 

And thats a touch under 96litres per person per day!!

I am wondering if we will be able to keep it up… and I’m a little concerned that people will think we don’t bath enough either !! (what IS that smell?)

I am also pleased to say that Melbourne’s average personal daily usage is now only 135litres… down from a whoping 188litres just 3 months ago. How good is that?
