* Rounded up to the nearest gallon.
If everyone in our area reduced their water use by 10%, we’d save over 44 million gallons of water per day!
These numbers are approximate.
Water use can vary on a day-to-day basis. However, this chart should provide
a good look into where you use the most water.
Numbers should be totals for the household, not per-person.
Totals are approximate.
To Calculate Your Bill
Atlanta bills in CCF (hundred cubic foot) units. To find the number of CCF you have used, divide the total number of gallons used per month by 748.5, then plug the number into this BILL CALCULATOR.
Water Use Logs for You
Please click these links to download indoor and outdoor water use logs. Keep a
log in each bathroom and in the kitchen and record your use over the
course of a week. That will allow you to note days and/or activities
that involve high water use. Then plug the numbers into this Water Use
Calculator to better understand your monthly usage and bill amounts.
