Do you know what a penny will buy? •
The following is from the 2008 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for Northwest Ottawa Water System:
- Only 3% of the tap water we use on a typical day is used for drinking.
- Households consume at least 50% of their water by lawn sprinkling. Inside, toilets use the most water, with an average of 27 gallons per person per day.
- One penny will deliver 7 gallons of drinking water to your home and family every day of the year!
Use water…….and use it wisely!
