140 litres per day 10:10 - Mar 19 with 1133 views

Those figures for the average bod are amazing:

Bathroom: 56L - perhaps a shower and how many bloody hand washes!?
Bog: 31L - understandable, unfortunately (piss outside when you can!)
'Cold water': 31L - drinking, cooking, what else?
Washing machine: 13L - apparently a load uses 30-70L so a personal load every 2 to 5 days makes sense I suppose.

UK population to grow by another 8 million by 2050: well, hopefully not.

It's not my fault, because I cry about 140 litres a day when I think about what ALL of us are STILL doing to the world, whilst we squabble about relative trivialities.

There's one poster on here whose family pay a flat rate for water and water their lawns because they've 'paid for it, so might as well use it'.

I won't name him but when I come to power, he will be executed.

I thought most of it goes through the sewage systems and gets cleaned up and reused.

Am I completely wrong?

Edit: I've thought about it, and I'm guessing this is more to do with population growth and therefore the limited amount of water in circulation not being enough to go round in future (I can't be bothered to read the article properly at the moment).

Some of us still pay on rateable value and probably pay loads more for that method than by meter. Some of us watch football and see gallons of water sprayed onto a pitch so some fools can run about and chase a bag of wind. If someone pays for the water then they can surely use it?
If that means growing grass then where's the problem? When we run out of water then it'll be a cost/use rationing - but at the moment this country at least is not short of processing or storage....
Personally I'd stop eating almonds or any derivative product sourced from California - there would be a good place to start fussing about indiscriminate use of water.

Interestingly our water bill came through yesterday.

207 cubic meters per year, which is 567 litres per day, for two people and a toddler.

That sounds a lot, you might want to get that checked!

I've looked at my last 3 quarterly bills, I've used 86 cubic metres, even assuming another 25-30 cubic metres for the last quarter, than would work out at 280 litres a day, and that's for a guesthouse with 3 of us permanently (inc one teenager), and over 2000 guests per year, 6 loos, 6 showers and a washing machine on several times a day normally.

So what do we think will happen with MM and the Aston Villa job?
