坦帕市水务局对居民用水特征进行了研究，以评估特定装置的节水潜力。在坦帕选定的25户家庭中安装了广泛的用水监测网络。监测包括总用水量、外部用水量、热水使用量、淋浴使用量、厕所冲洗量、静压和排水压力。主要重点是厕所和淋浴，因为这些装置是住宅改造项目的目标。 表格和数字支持了对研究结果的讨论。

The City of Tampa Water Department conducted a study of residential water use characteristics to evaluate the water savings potential of specific fixtures. An extensive water use monitoring network was installed in a selected sample of 25 homes in Tampa. Monitoring included total water use, exterior water use, hot water use, shower use, toilet flushing, static pressure, and drainline pressure. Major emphasis was on toilets and showers, because these fixtures were targeted for a residential retrofit program. Tables and figures back up the discussion of the study's results.
