Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The water consumption since 2005 appears to have significantly increased over the years when compared to the FY 2009 data, this is due to a broken meter not accounting for all of the water consumed in 2005.

The number of on-campus residents was obtained from the CMU Factbook 2005~2006 and 2009~2010. Carnegie Mellon does not offer housing for faculty, staff, or graduate students on-campus, campus residents consists of undergraduate and special-degree students.
