This works out to 108.6 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), regional average. Residents of new apartments use only 40 gpcd according to water companies that serve them. We waste so much water on SFH zoning 😢

The bare minimum we should have learned from a devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when we are sick. Yet, governments beholden to corporate interests are determined to make sure we don't even do that.
