For the water supply as well as the waste treatment industries of the community, this study of the water use characteristics of domestic consumers serves to evaluate a number of the various possible factors relating to the differences in domestic use of water. The two objectives in analyzing the factors which may cause variation in water use between dwelling units were to determine the extent of uniformity in water use (within the study sample), and determine the differences in water use, if any, by special group classifications within the study sample. Indirectly, the study was concerned with the pumping and distribution system investment of the water utility. The study examined whether findings on residential water fixtures and equipment, and on patterns of household water use, indicated the type of various demands in single‐dwelling units.
