• In recent years , San Francisco residents use about 45 gallons of water per person per day . View your household ’ s daily water use and calculate how your home compares to the average .
• Under the daily water use section , modify your water usage chart and pick a recent date where no one was at home . If water use occurred on that date , you may have a leak somewhere in your home or , you may have accidentally left a hose or the irrigation system on .
• If you have an automatic irrigation system , view your daily water use chart to determine how much water is used for landscape irrigation by comparing your watering days to your non-watering days . Most gardens in San Francisco can get by with watering 2-3 days per week from April through October .
