Washing the House & Car on a ‘Wet Weekend’

March 2nd, 2008 at 09:07 am

Today we had a ‘Wet Weekend’ for a one hour on odd & even house number system that we have. We could get our hoses out for just one hour this weekend. Some people didn’t use they hoses for this one time only in 18 months. For me it was a lot longer than that as I always started a lot earlier as when the next level was published not when it started and the first 3 levels were published together. So for first time in over 3 years I washed my house and window of dust and had time to wash my car also. I did get everything ready before hand and all I had to do at end of the time was dry the car down. We are still on 140 litres per day per person. I’m at below 90 litres per day so I’m well within my limit. Hopefully we may go to 170 litres per person when we go over 40% and we are at 39.5%.

    Wow, 140 litres a day would be about a per person ration of 37 gallons per day here in the US or about 1100 gallons per month, if my calculations are correct.

    I try to keep my water usage to no more than 1000 gallons per month per person, as well. I had read that a usage of 30 gallons or less per day was conservative.
