A survey of 1,200 single-family residences in 12 North American cities revealedsignificant levels of saturation of water efficient technologies and water-using behaviors. Each of the 1,200 homes was surveyed by mail and its water use was monitored for two 2-week periods during the seasons of low and high water use. Water meter readings were recorded in 10-second intervals using electronic data loggers. The recorded timing and flow rates of all water-using events were analyzed in order to identify the prupose for which water was used during each event. The flow rates and duration of individual events permitted classification of all events into two or more classes of efficiency of water use for each purpose. The distribution of efficient uses among the 1,200 residences in 12 sites was examined in order to determine which socioeconomic and programmatic factors influence the degree of adoption of water conservation among North American households. Includes 7 references, tables.
