City of Madison WI reaches its 2020 goal of reducing per capita water usage

Madison Water Utility pumps lowest amount of water in 50 years.  (Madison.com, 1/22/2018)

“People living in single-family homes used about 75 gallons per-person per-day 15 years ago,” Barrileaux said in a statement. “In 2016, that number was just over 55.” 

In its Conservation and Sustainability Plan [see screenshots below] adopted in 2008, the water utility hoped to reduce per capita water usage to 55 gallons per day, but that goal was set for 2020.

 High-efficiency toilets appear to be the top priority.
