New Tool: Water Use Comparison
Residential customers can now view an updated Water Use Guideline on the monthly utility statement. Knowing how much water your household uses monthly and comparing this usage to others will help you conserve water and help Tucson respond to increasingly severe drought conditions.
Access the water use graph on your utility services statement that comes in the mail or is available via the online payment portal. The black line on the graph shows the average water consumption for all residential customers monthly – this is the Residential Water Use Guideline. Customer consumption varies seasonally, with more water being used in the hot, dry summer months and less water being used in the winter.
How can you use this Guideline? Tucson Water bills by the Ccf (centum cubic feet), which is 748 gallons. The average Tucsonan uses 80 gallons of water per day, or about 3 Ccfs per month, and the average number of people per home is 2.5. Consider how many people live in your home and do some quick math. If your water use is significantly more than the black line, learn how to reduce your use.
The City of Tucson, as required by state statute, has a Drought Preparedness and Response Plan. Tucson Water has developed this Water Use Guideline as a Tier 1 drought response.

“What are some reasons my home water usage may change?”
Water consumption may change because of undetected leaks inside or outside, change in the number of people in the household, change of seasons, adding water-efficient appliances and fixtures, filling a pool, and adding plants and trees.
