a

The daily volume of water taken from water stations was calculated by subtracting baseline flowmeter volume from the volume at the end of the study period. This volume was divided by the number of days the site was open to the public between flowmeter readings to obtain the daily volume of water used at each site.

b

Not included in means for all sites because of lack of flowmeter readings from matched study site.

c

Mean gallons of water used in study communities was not statistically different (P = .97).
