Queensland Water Commission Securing our water together

Current Dam levels

Residential consumption

Residential daily consumption figures are calculated on a weekly basis using local council water usage data:

  • each SEQ council provides bulk water supply data to the Commission
  • data is collated to derive an average daily regional figure (including residential and non-residential use)
  • the non-residential sector's consumption is then deducted
  • an average daily per person water consumption is then derived using population figures.
