TREND IN RESIDENTIAL WATER USE

Abstract
This brief paper summarizes the results of a study of residential water use in Ames, Iowa, a university town of substantially the same character for the past 2 decades. The paper concludes that water use per family or per residential customer service in Ames has increased generally at 1‐2 per cent/year since 1955. This trend has occurred under conditions of consistent character and steady growth of the community, and uniformity in the quality and price of water.
