Summary

A good understanding of domestic water usage patterns and trends is essential for the Corporation to effectively plan for the present and future needs of its domestic and other customers.

More specifically, objectives of the new DWUS were to:

collect data on household water usage;
identify water use patterns and trends; and
develop a demand forecasting model and a water use efficiency program at a later stage.

This report addresses the first two study objectives. It briefly describes the study methodology, presents the more salient results of data analysis and summarises key findings. The information will be used by the Corporation to improve forecasting of future demand and develop water use efficiency programs that are soundly based.
