本文描述了一项研究，以确定节水装置是否能显著减少水的使用和废水处理。对都柏林圣拉蒙服务区和加利福尼亚州普莱森顿市预选分区的每月水表读数进行了统计。对照组中没有安装节水设备，而对照组中没有安装节水设备。结果表明，通过安装节水管道装置，平均每户3.5人的家庭每天可以节约113升的水。此外，用水量的减少使废水流量减少了相当数量，从而避免了对废水处理系统进行成本高昂的扩建。包括6个参考文献、表格、图表。

This paper describes a study conducted to determine whether water saving devices significantly reduce water usage and wastewater disposal. Monthly water meter readings were made for preselected subdivisions in the Dublin San Ramon Services District and the city of Pleasanton in California. One group included homes in which water saving devices had been installed, while the control group included homes in which no water saving devices were utilized. Results show that water savings of 113 L/day could be achieved in average homes with 3.5 occupants each through the installation of water-saving plumbing fixtures. Furthermore, a reduction in water use reduced wastewater flows by a comparable amount, thus avoiding the need for a costly expansion of the wastewater disposal system. Includes 6 references, tables, figures.
