“Peak” water use describes the time of year when residential water use is at its highest, usually in early August, depending on where you live.
Peak seasonal water use is typically three to five times as much as winter water use. It's a great time to find new ways to save water inside and outside your home.
The average American home uses about 260 gallons of water per day; however, during peak season the same household can use about 1,000 gallons of water in a day!
In some instances peak daily use can be as high as 3,000 gallons a day -- more than 10 times the average daily use. That's equivalent to a garden hose running open for nearly 8 hours or enough water to supply the same home for sixteen days!
