.~1 new water consumption
record for the city of Central
Point was estbalished last month,
during July, according to figures
presen d at Monday evening's
~ CQUIlCi SeSSlofl.
The July, 1956, 'water use in
. the c ty totaled 14,939,800 gal-
. lons. his was 1,600,000 gallons
over ,~ a previous record month
of August, 2 955, when 13,3$7,700
allons were used.
l .lust to have a little funr with
figures, let's divide the city pop-
; ulation into the gallonage. We
came up with 7838.3 gallons per
resident per month! Breaking
this down even farther," we came
up with a figure of 10.53 gal-
lons per hour per resident!
Of course, in juggling these
figures a bit we ignored the in -
dustrial and commercial us€
throughout the city, but that's
shill a lot of water.
