This table shows the number of households enrolled that received piped water and the number/proportion that had water meter data available. Shown are dates when the first household received piped water in each community and the date the last home received piped water. In Communities A–C, households were supplied with water sequentially as they came ‘on-line’. In Community D, water was not initiated until all homes were connected. The table shows the water use in gallons per capita per day before and after water service.
