nyc annual consumption in 2006 was the lowest since at least 1979: 1068.7 million gallons per DAY in 2006 compared to 1512.4 million gallons per day in 1979.
nyc per person consumption in 2006 was 133.5 gallons per day compared to 189.0 gallons per day in 1979.
the highest per capita consumption year in this span of time was 1988 with 208.3 gallons per person per day, though the total nyc consumption was 1483.9 million gallons per day. population must have hiccuped down that year.
interesting stuff on the dep website. including a record of various droughts and how long they lasted and what the reservoir level percentages were at the time.
also interesting is the list of restrictions that apply near and during a drought.
