The Benchmark feature in the Watergate mobile app helps you understand how your water usage compares to similar households across the UK.
It takes into account:
The number of people living in your home
Whether or not your home has a garden
Using this info, the app calculates how much water your household used compared to the national average for a similar UK property. The result is presented clearly on a scale, alongside a percentage that reflects your usage relative to typical consumption for households with the same number of occupants and garden status. You’ll find the Benchmark feature in the Stats section of the app.
