    Figures

    Figure 1  Municipal water systems in rural and small town areas report a higher share of water being used for domestic use

    Figure 2  Municipal water use for all purposes, on a per capita basis, is highest in weak/no metropolitan influenced zone

    Figure 3  Domestic water use of municipal water systems is highest in moderate metropolitan influenced zone

    Figure 4  One-third of rural households obtain their water from a private well

    Figure 5  In rural and small town areas, less than 60% of the population serviced by a municipal water system has water meters

    Figure 6  In rural areas, 40% of households treat their drinking water

    Figure 7  For a typical household, there is a strong urban to rural gradient in the probability of households treating their drinking water

    Figure 8  Each selected household profile has the same strong urban to rural gradient as the typical household
