Flume Selected to Lead Largest Residential Water Use Study

Flume Water announced that the Water Research Foundation (WRF) has selected Flume to conduct the Residential End Uses of Water Study, Version 3. This prestigious research project will be the largest and most significant residential end-use study ever conducted in North America with over 50 utility partners.

This study is a comprehensive update to WRF’s influential 1999 and 2016 Residential End Uses of Water studies and will include water use data for over 100,000 households across the United States and Canada. The Residential End Uses of Water Study will:
• Explore where and how people use water in single-family and multi-family households including toilets, showers, faucets, clothes washers, irrigation, and more.
• Evaluate the efficiency of water use and how use patterns have changed over the past 25 years.
• Compare indoor and outdoor residential water use across housing types and geographies.

“We are honored to have been selected by the Water Research Foundation to conduct the Residential End Uses of Water Study, Version 3,” said Eric Adler, CEO of Flume. “Flume is uniquely positioned to perform this study based on our extensive water data collection, which gives us unprecedented insight into the water use patterns of North American households. This study is critical for ensuring long-term sustainability and community resilience, and we are proud to contribute to this vital effort.”
