Thank you for being a member of the Smarter Sustainable Dubuque Water Pilot Study Team!
In about a week we will give you access to a web site that will give you a detailed picture of how your household uses
water. Before that happens, we’d like to ask you to spend about 5 minutes filling in this survey (only one response per
household is needed).
We know your privacy is important to you, and we are committed to protecting it. Your responses to this survey like all
of the other information you provide during this study is linked to a secret ID that we do not know.
We very much appreciate your time and your input. Thank you.

section we ask a few questions that will help us operate and improve the web site.

I do not have internet access
I only have internet access at work, and would not access the site from work
I rarely or never use the web and think it unlikely that I would use it in this case
I'm not that interested in details of my water use
I'll probably forget
