2023 Average consumption: 289 Gallons / Unit / Day
February - April 2024 Average consumption: 190 Gallons / Unit / Day - 34.2% savings.

Savings / Payback / ROI
The net benefit of the Water Scrooge™ conservation program is annual savings of approximately $6,500.
This is calculated using:
- The initial average usage of 3471 Gallons / Day (2023 Consumption)
- The revised average usage of 2286 Gallons / Day (2024)
- Water and Sewer Cost of $0.015 / Gallon
- Hot water savings of $59.25 daily
The project cost was $5400 = $450 / door
The payback period on the $5400 investment is over ten months, with an ROI of 116%
