DIY Water Audit

DIY Water Audit

Now that you know how to read your water meter like a pro, you can connect your own interior household water audit. You can also find many online resources to help you understand your water usage including handy formulas to calculate irrigation systems.

But for a simple understanding of your household use, the only tools you need are the knowledge you now have in reading your water meter, a calculator, pen, and paper.

Use our worksheet below, or create your own, and tally up the numbers. The averages will vary based on your own fixtures, but If you want to get really accurate, enlist your wife, husband, children, partner or neighbor to help you out. As you perform each f the following activities, have someone outside using the water meter to determine the exact amount of units for each activity.

Once you determine your individual and household use for each activity, you can tally the totals for a daily, weekly, and monthly snapshot. Armed with this knowledge, you can help to conserve water by catching leaks quicker, reduce unnecessary use, and verify your findings against your water bill.

What David says about us

Service for new garbage disposal. My ancient garbage disposal quit working, went online to get Bill Howe’s number, immediately received and accepted chat to describe my needs. Prompt call back to schedule an appointment, service tech Allen was out same morning, which was important to fit my work schedule. Job estimate was clear, work done fully to my expectations, area left clean, and price was very fair.
I was not surprised — I have used Bill Howe plumbers for several other tasks in the past. I have always found their staff to be helpful, attentive, and the plumbers very courteous and capable.

What Mira says about us

Bill Howe never fails us! We had a drain overflow, and Scott came (on a Saturday) to look at it and offer solution. He was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I should also praise the main office for always being helpful and always finding solutions. Very grateful to have you in San Diego!

What Ed Gohlich says about us

Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he’s was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it’s has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Great company to work with.
Thanks Cory.

What Bridgett says about us

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe’s servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!

Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.
