General Usage of Water:

General usage of water for public is not measured separately from trade and industrial consumption in some countries. Common or public use might comprise water for fountains, parks, governmental buildings and their grounds etc., which is to be supplied free of charge.

This may vary from nil to around 100 litres/head/day depending upon class and climate of the city. But the public demand for fire routine, fighting fire hydrant testing, temporary building supplies and sewer flushing is normally so small when expressed as an average daily per capita during the year that it seldom needs to be separately estimated.
