Start the planThe city legislature in Grand Hills, in an attempt to address water shortages in the city, have mounted a publicity campaign to encourage residents to save water by keeping their showering time to about 5 minutes. According to the legislature’s estimates, this should result in the average household using between 10% and 20% less water each month.
Which of the following, if true, would most indicate a weakness in the city legislature’s efforts to address the water shortage?
(A) The amount of water used by businesses in Grand Hills far exceeds the amount used by people in their homes.
(B) Most people in Grand Hills claim that they spend between 5 and 10 minutes in the shower.
(C) A new plumbing system is now available that would reduce household water consumption by between 30% and 35%.
(D) People who begin taking shorter showers are more likely to shower twice, rather than once a day.
(E) A new report suggests that the savings estimate given by the legislature is substantially too high.
