Show PART II PRESENT STATUS restuarants, service stations, laundries, hotels and motels is important in the provision of goods and services. However, in other commercial establishments such as dry goods stores, grocery stores, department stores, and automobile dealerships the use of water is small and incidental to the provision of goods and services. Commercial water uses exhibit seasonal variations, with a maximum during the summer months of 120 to 180 percent of the average monthly withdrawal requirements. Minimum requirements during the winter months range from 50 to 80 percent of the average monthly withdrawal requirements. Water requirements for the contract construction industry have been included in the commercial and other uses category. Water uses in the contract construction industry include dust control, batching of concrete, and various washing processes.
