Excerpt from Notes on Water Waste Prevention Work in New York City
Even with this comparatively low consumption, during less than three years water-waste work, New York has reduced her total consumption from 525 m.g.d. To 486 m.g.d. If allowance be made for the normal three per cent. Yearly growth in population, this reduction is equivalent to 90 or more water than the present supply of St. Louis or Boston, with their population of nearly three quarters of a million.
